I'm not the resident expert on multibyte character sets, so I'm just
reporting the situation and waiting for e.g. PWS to respond. However,
as far as my understanding of the multibyte library goes, once you've
"desynchronized" the input by encountering an invalid byte, you're not
guaranteed that anything further that you see can be correctly
interpreted as a code point. I agree that it's not ideal to just dump
everything else "raw".
