Looking at the patch, this will parse any locale up to the first dot or
arobas it finds and use the part before that to deduct the locale, which
should successfully convert any locale to UTF-8.
The only exception I can think of is cases where the arobas points to a
useful variant. One example is Serbian: the default encoding is Cyrillic
but there is an @latin variant also. There, utf8migrationtool would make
the wrong assumption.
Can anybody think of any other exception case that must be processed?
