Looking back at the Changelog, it looks like the changes I was talking
about went in on the third, so they're probably already in the
earlier version you're using (it's the Changelog entry that
mentions fixing bug 58472).

When you say you're using the system encoding, what do you mean?
If you mean that you're not setting it, the default is always
UTF-8. If you mean you're setting it to some particular
system encoding using g_io_channel_set_encoding (), which
encoding is it?
