Look at tests/Test-ftp-iri-fallback.log, if you can't interpret the content 
send it here.

Each test should self-contain a short description of it's purpose, sometimes 
these are missing (accidentally).

Test-ftp-iri-fallback tries to FTP-download a file containing non-ASCII 
char(s).
The behavior of Wget (with IRI support) is to convert the file name to UTF-8 
for using with a RETR command.
This should fail with a "550 file not found".
Now Wget falls back to the unconverted file name and tries RETR again - this 
should succeed (we told the FTP test server to know this file name).

A test failure could mean anything, but likely something with charset 
conversion (client or test server / Perl).

Hope this helps. If not, send us the .log file as a first hint.
