Since I did not receive any answer, I looked into it myself –
and found the answer more quickly than I had dreamed possible.
This, then, is mainly for the benefit of others who might be
interested; but I have another question as well:

The problem turns out to be with V8. And here is an issue about it:

http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=459

TL;DR: The problem won't be fixed in v8. However, a fix is in v8-i18n.

And that brings me to my question: What chances of success would one
have if building node with v8-i18n instead of plain v8?

I am guessing at least there will be some risks, as each node release
seems to contain a carefully hand picked v8 release. And if v8-i18n
doesn't track v8 very closely, picking a suitable v8-i18n relase to
use may be difficult.
