Follow-up Comment #10:

Thanks for tracking this down.

I pushed the following change to the CI rules on macOS:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1de4eedfe2fe

Homebrew prints the following when installing the libiconv package:

==> libiconv
libiconv is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version
in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

If you need to have libiconv first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libiconv/bin:$PATH"' >>
/Users/runner/.bash_profile

For compilers to find libiconv you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/libiconv/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/libiconv/include"


I don't know what the "all kinds of trouble" is hinting at. But at least in
preliminary tests, it avoids the failing tests in the CI.

Marking as ready for test.
