There surely should be some better way, such as finding which specific
tuples are problematic, and updating them on the source database.

A thought...  You might do two dumps:

1.  Raw, no conversion using iconv

2.  Another, which converts using iconv [generate this by passing file #1 thru 
iconv...]

Diffing those files should give you a pretty clear idea which records
are troublesome.
