When the conversion function doesn't work, any attempt to send any text

Ah, now I remember: we arranged to short-circuit translation of the
error message when we were in this situation. But it will still get
passed through the encoding converter (rather uselessly, if it's all
ASCII). I wonder how ugly it would be to try to suppress encoding
conversion as well?
The error message might contain user data, which might contain non-ASCII
characters. Or maybe not, but it seems like a shaky assumption to make.
Sending invalidly encoded data to the client is a bad idea; who knows
how the client will react.
