Yeah, I was a bit baffled by that. But I could not account for the
problem.

Yup, that did the trick! Excellent. I hope to have a report for you
about a measurable consequence of improved coreutils 9.11 performance.

Seems you're right. Is it too much to hope for gnulib to add an
Autoconf test that detects its own staleness in this respect? Not quite
the right list to ask, I know, but you may already know the answer and
if not, I know where to direct my query.
Or was the multibyte buffer code replacement/update sufficiently deep,
subtle, and/or uncommon that this problem is unlikely to hit others?
