iconv in base breaks multiple ports

Hey all,
ever since that iconv thing replaced the ports version, I run into
trouble with several ports that I have installed on a -CURRENT (now
stable/10 system).
These are not compile-time errors, but crashes or limited functionality
where I blame iconv :)
1. www/newsbeuter crashes during startup, somewhere in the stfl code
that deals with wide char functions.
2. devel/git: when using git-svn, it'll segfault in the perl code, not
sure how to get a backtrace here as gdb's follow-fork doesn't quite
work.
3. multimedia/xbmc is no longer able to decode unicode filenames and
other things are broken. It spews an endless stream of
19:36:00 T:34594644992 ERROR: convert_checked iconv_open() failed from WCHAR_T to UTF-8, errno=22(Invalid argument)
19:36:00 T:34594644992 ERROR: convert_checked iconv_open() failed from UTF-8 to WCHAR_T, errno=22(Invalid argument)
19:37:00 T:34594644992 ERROR: Previous line repeats 9656 times.
Is my system hexed? I've rebuilt the ports/packages a dozen times now.
Am I seeing ghosts?
Thanks,
Uli
