I think this is related to RT bugs:
- "run() miscalculates length of UTF-8 strings"
  https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14078
- " Pumping UTF-8 data mangles it" 
  https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=58853

I'm going to suggest upstream to use binmode on the file handles

All the best
