I'll leave all highbit stuff out of the reply to make it easier on all
involved parties.

If your script contains literal UTF-8, then you *must* tell perl about
that with the utf8 pragma. When I change your script to start with
use utf8;
then I see no problem.
If you still see the bug when you add the utf8 pragma, please let us
know. It would probably help then, if you could comment a little which
UTF-8 strings you actually include in your script. Maybe the message
was not transported correctly. Maybe you can reproduce the problem in
a script without actually using high bits?
> LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Maybe your observation also is related to your environment. In case
you still have troubles, please try to set LANG to "C" or some other
value that doesn't match /utf-8/i.
Thanks for your report,
