Hi,

according to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/iconv.html
   If a sequence of input bytes does not form a valid character in the
   specified codeset, conversion stops after the previous successfully
   converted character.

So iconv does its job, and this bugreport should be closed.
