As one can see from [1], Apple apparently replaced their entire iconv
implementation. Before, they were using a fork of GNU libiconv from 2006.
(They stopped upgrading to newer versions of GNU libiconv when I
switched the program's license from GPLv2+ to GPLv3+.) Now they are using an
implementation based on the one from FreeBSD or NetBSD, under the MIT license.
The regression then occurred on the Apple side; neither FreeBSD 13.2 nor
NetBSD 9.3 has the bug that you found on macOS 14.
