Comment (by pento):

 I've been beating my head against this all week, with still no luck.

 Given the output, I'm starting to suspect this is a Windows-specific
 issue. For example, take the first character in the `koi8r` string. It has
 the byte value of `\xfd`, which is an invalid character in UTF-8, but `ý`
 in UTF-16 (as is shown in the `$actual` output). Given that Windows uses
 UTF-16 as its internal encoding, I suspect the string is being silently
 marked as UTF-16 at some point, either in PHP or MySQL.

 Are you able to reproduce this in later versions of PHP and MySQL?
