I'm at a loss where the "646" is coming from. AFAICT the test tries to
encode a file containing the word "test1" + 0xa LF, which "file" guesses
as ASCII, into UTF-8.

Guessing "646" has something to do with your build environment?

(I just built successfully in an environment with en_GB.UTF-8 and one
with no locale specific environment variables set, admittedly on -current
rather than 9, but AFAIK nothing changed in that respect.)
