Funny.. Safe.pm already does this (share various utf8:: functions) so
I think there should be no question that what you did in the patch
below is correct and a bug with Safe.  Sorry for the handwaves, that
was me trying to understand the problem and your fix. :)

Hrm... Is the require utf8; strictly needed? A reading of perldoc utf8
seems to say the do { my $unicode = ... } (aka load utf8_heavy.pl)
part should make it all work fine.

It also seems to still work
t/safeutf8.t ....... ok

*shrug*
