I'm afraid I have good and bad news: perl@8506 is not barfing on either
configpm or perlbug.PL during a static build on USS V2.5 for me.

I guess this is because of Hugo's patch (Change  8499)?

Many thanks Hugo!

P.S. the bad news is that the need to go hacking into UTF8 eq ops has
disappeared - at least for now (I know you were looking forward to that
;-).
