Yes, it's a very similar problem.
This one happens when /usr/bin/ckbcomp invokes uc or lc on a UTF-8
string. Consider:
with perl-modules installed:
# perl -le 'binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); print lc "\x{0100}"'
ā
without perl-modules installed:
# perl -le 'binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); print lc "\x{0100}"'
Use of uninitialized value $list in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 227.
Use of uninitialized value $x in scalar assignment at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 242.
Use of uninitialized value $x in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 243.

Moving the contents of /usr/share/perl/5.10/unicore/To/ to perl-base
would fix this. Feel free to reassign/clone/whatever to perl.
