Yes, I know that. But it doesn't necessarily mean that
"UTF-16BE is opten mislabeled UCS-2BE". As I've never seen
"UCS-2BE", I'd like to confirm what it exactly means.

It says nothing about "UCS-2BE", either.
If UCS-2BE is a mislabel of UTF-16BE, UCS-2BE can simply be
an alias of UTF16-BE. If UCS-2BE is a BMP subset of
UTF-16BE, UCS2-BE should be implemented differently from
UTF-16BE (at least, we should not select it by
select-safe-conding-system on saving a buffer that contains
non-BMP characters).
