Correction, it only forgets the very last escape sequence since this one is
not generated by iconv(3). It "forgets" to clear the state at the end of
the conversion which I found out in comaprison with iconv(1) that handles
this case correctly. I prepared a patch and will file a bug against the
package.
This leaves the question open how to handle this for packages.debian.org
I will probably just work around the bug.
