Yes it does fail with "make check":

make[4]: Entering directory '/home/mike/tmp/texinfo/tp/tests'
/usr/bin/perl ./../maintain/copy_change_file_name_encoding.pl
./input/included_latîn1.texi .
could not copy ./input/included_latîn1.texi: Invalid or incomplete
multibyte or wide character


I suspect it should be possible to catch this error from the Perl
script and at least provide a warning that it was unable to create the
non-UTF8 file name.
