New description:

 With LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO8859-1", I have the following problem. I don't
 know if this is an upstream bug or not, but this doesn't fail under Linux
 (with the same locales):

 $ recode utf8.. < /dev/null
 recode: System detected problem in step `UTF-8..CHAR'

Comment(by toby@…):

 Since this is a long-standing bug in a port with no upstream maintainer,
 perhaps a good candidate for the 'notes' feature in 1.8
