failing program

A Glib->warning message and related stuff reaches a $SIG{__WARN__} handler with
a byte string, where I hoped it would be a wide-char string, ie. utf8_on.  For
example the program foo.pl attached prints "not utf8".

I struck this in LANG=de where translations of some of gtk's stupid warning
messages trying to make you buy the "hicolor" theme have utf8 chars.

I suppose gperl_log_handler doesn't propagate utf8-ness when it calls the plain
C warn() func.  Is there a utf8 version of that?  Is it possible to build a
utf8 string and call CORE::warn() or wherever the perl-level one lives?  Or is
it as easy as turning on the utf8 flag on PL_mess_sv (perhaps temporarily) if
you want that on your warning?
