Presumably, the idea is that the first conversion should fail if the message is not faithfully representable in Latin-1, triggering the fallback. The problem is that the do_iconv function does not treat the inability to represent characters in the target encoding as a failure. do_iconv only fails when iconv_open or iconv returns -1, which would indicate invalid charset, encoding errors in the input string, insufficient space for conversion, etc. - but not failure to represent characters in the destination charset, which is indicated by a positive return value from iconv. I have attached a patch, but before applying it, some care should be taken to ensure that this doesn't break other code using do_iconv.
