I applied 2.07 to bleadperl, and looks like something is broken in PerlIO::encoding. More precisely, ext/PerlIO/t/encoding.t fails test 14, that tests open(F,'<:encoding(utf-8)',$threebyte).
The easiest solution is the patch below;

This makes perl-5.8.6 happy but the problem is that I have made Encode::utf8 so that it accepts fallback values like Encode::XS (upon the request by Bjoern Hoehrmann via RT). Encode::utf8 used to return immediately at partial character but now Encode:RETURN_ON_ERR is required, meaning those who installed Encode-2.07 on older perl are in trouble w/ PerlIO. So I am looking for a solution which does that without tweaking PerlIO::encoding.
I just want Encode::utf8->decode() to make sure Encode:RETURN_ON_ERR is on when the callar is PerlIO::encoding...
