I'm not sure it is meaningful to use the "@euro" modifier with the UTF-8
charset.  In my experience, "@euro" is used as a modifier to a plain
language/territory locale to indicate that a Euro-supporting character
set should be used.  For example:

en_GB        would use ISO 8859-1, but
en_GB@euro   would use ISO 8859-15.

Can you explain why you are using the @euro modifier with the UTF-8
charset, and why you feel this behavior is a bug?
