I don't have access to a perl 5.8.5, and never compiled perl, but you
can test this :

use Gtk2 '-init';
my $string='string';
my $label=Gtk2::Label->new($string);
$_='a %1 b %1';
s/%1/replace($string)/eg;
warn $_;

sub replace
{       $_=shift;
        return $_;
}

__END__
I get a 'panic: sv_pos_b2u: bad byte offset at utf8.pl line 5.' with
perl-5.8.3-5mdk
