I've just decoded what you were telling me with that one-liner.
Disregard what I wrote above, not enough coffee yet…
So, any codepoint that is more than a single byte will throw the
byte-compiler off, not just any utf-8 codepoint. Since this has been in
Emacs likely ever since unicode strings have been introduced, I'd
suggest adding a *strong* warning in some prominent place in the
documentation about this even when it gets fixed in a newer version of
Emacs. Otherwise it's all too easy to produce libraries that have
mysterious failures depending on whatever Emacs was used to compile or
run them.
Regards,
Achim.
