Comment (by jmroot):

 Linux systems also tend to use the iconv from glibc, rather than the
 standalone libiconv package (which according to upstream is less efficient
 and only really intended to be used on systems that don't have an `iconv`
 that supports Unicode.) Maybe there are some code differences there.

 The standards seem to be silent on what should happen when a character
 can't be represented in the target character set. If you want fine control
 over how transliteration is done, you might be better off using something
 like recode?
