Emacs 27.1 was release 1.5 years ago. If these problems are real, we
should have heard about them by now.

That's too general a fix in a place that's too low-level to know what
is TRT in these cases. It would prevent us from signaling an error
when a Lisp program uses an invalid encoding, for example -- these
problems cannot be silently ignored.
