The original problem which triggered the report was this part, and
this part only:
A multibyte character is handled correctly.
To make a decent job for this bug, we need, as a minimum, to do
something with this unparsable sentence. I admit that my suggestion
went well beyond that, but if we want to take a step back, please
suggest what to say instead. I hope you agree that this sentence
cannot be left as-is.
(To know what is meant by this sentence, look at the source of the
function.)
