I don't believe I insulted anyone; if anything, I was self-deprecating:

  1) I saw multiple problems with C<use encoding>, leading variously to
     core dumps, panics, baffling exceptions, and odd failures.  I fear
     some idiocy of my own: that's why I'm shy at formal bug-reporting it.

  2) I had next to no end of trouble testing whether $data began with BOM
     in either byte-order.  My tribulations were so severe I have to wonder
     whether I'm not somehow being brain-damaged here as well.

  Is there any collective sense of how many bug reports, particularly about
  C<use encoding>, this merits?

  If non-zero, should I submit just one report detailing several apparent
  problems, or would several reports each containing one problem be better?

  If it were only a matter of self-education and documentation improvements,
  I'd be happy to submit those patches myself--once I finally understood it.

Why then you felt a need to be so insulting, I neither understand nor appreciate.

Nobody would.
