Comment (by ramey):

 I believed I (with Marshall's help) have traced this to an issue with
 utf8_codecvt facet.  The problem only shows up when it's recovering from
 an exception.  That is, utf8_codecvt is not exception-safe on these
 platforms.  This is because due variations among standard header
 implementations we're sometimes pulling code from the standard header ans
 sometimes from our own facet.  It's a bit of a fiasco but it needs a real
 fix - not just a quick one.  So it's on our list.
