Right.

Not really clear to me what level the "right" fix is, since this was all
designed for a pre-multibyte world... I don't think we have a test for a
valid/invalid multibyte character at the shell level currently, do we?
Wouldn't be hard to add [[:INCOMPLETE::]] or [[:INVALID:]] to the
pattern code, but that's an extra step...
