Your explanation is why this is a docs enhancement proposal rather than a bug report: as far as we're aware, all encodings that get used as locale encodings have the property that encoding "-X utf8" with the locale encoding gives the same answer as encoding it with ASCII. Encodings where this isn't true (like UTF-16-LE) don't get used as locale encodings.
