SVN r286490 exposed the brokenness of these tests. Since RFC 3629
(November 2003), UTF-8 has been restricted to code points up to 0x10FFFF
(inclusive). The higher sequences should be removed from the tests (or,
even better, be expected to cause [EILSEQ]).

I can provide a patch, but thought I'd explain the problem first.
