Which would be rather undesirable anyway, at least in my opinion.
It also seems that the kernel's behavior (switching out of UTF-8 mode
when it receives a reset sequence) which caused the initial complaint
has changed, probably many years ago.
At least I am unable to reproduce the problem here with a 5.10 kernel
and am inclined to just close the bug.
