t/20_authors_with_special_characters.t .. ok
EU:MM is running into trouble because it is writing the file with
:encoding(locale), so it can't be relied upon to handle non-ASCII
characters. The "does not map to" warning indicates a real problem that
probably ought to be treated as an error: one cannot rely on reading
back from the file the same data that was meant to be written to it.
Either EU:I should avoid passing non-ASCII characters to this part of
EU:MM, or EU:MM should switch to some means of storage that reliably
can handle them.
