macOS-10.14.6, but also see it with macOS 13.6.

I had been using gettext-0.20.2 for some years. When I tried to update
gettext-tools to 0.22.5, I got test failures with lang-perl-1, lang-perl-2,
lang-python-1, and lang-python-2.
These were of the form:

FAIL: lang-python-1
===================

1c1
< «Votre commande, s'il vous plait», dit le garçon.

> «Votre commande, s'il vous plait», dit le garçon.
FAIL lang-python-1 (exit status: 1)


In case things get mangled, the diff input has the good French quotes and
c-cedilla, while the output has a leading A-circumflex before the quotes and
c.

Tests are run with `LC_ALL=C make check` . This system has always been using
en_US.UTF-8 (default US English).

I then used `git bisect` to track down the commit at fault since 0.20.2 was
released a while ago. The faulty commit is
5412a4f79929004cb6db15d545e07dc953330e8d (Avoid the need for charset
conversion at run time on musl libc.)

The lang-(perl|python) tests pass with commit
f5c9a0848694dbb74721404cf1878a9369acb13f that is immediately before it, but
they fail with 5412a4f79929004cb6db15d545e07dc953330e8d
