Well, I was also building perl@8211.  Maybe the difference was that I had
applied the piping code patch that I recently posted.

What do you see when running t/lib/encode.t from a command-line Perl?  I
get the warning messages sent to the terminal or STDERR.

I'm sure an octothorpe would help, but it's unclear to me whether this
really is a warning of the "uh oh, something's wrong but continuing" vs.
just plain chattiness.  In the first case, it should be picked up as an
error, in the second the warning should be excised from the code.
