Good catch! Do we have a test for that scenario? If not, one should be added.

I would suggest to use `jmp(copy_chars_loop)` here for consistency with
surrounding code.

We don't mix AVX and SSE code here, right? We just fall back to SSE42 when
AVX512 is not available or when the remaining length is below a threshold. Are
you suggesting to better encapsulate both implementations (for example, factor
them out into separate methods) or only ever using one?
