The situation is (or should be):

intltool    gettext    result
=================================
<= 0.26     <  0.12    no problem, but UTF-8 strings won't be extracted
<= 0.26     >= 0.12    dies there
>= 0.27     <  0.12    Same as if older intltool is used
>= 0.27     >= 0.12    Extracts UTF-8 string successfully
