problems with Glib::locale_from_utf8

Greetings,

I'm using libxml++ (which uses glibmm) to parse some XML, but am getting aborts
every time my parser class calls it's on_characters callback and tries to
display a word with a utf8 character.

Looks like locale_from_utf8 throws an exception if g_locale_from_utf8 returns
an error (specifically G_CONVERT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_SEQUENCE).  I thought maybe my
utf8 setup was borked but I've got several other folks with supposedly working
utf8 setups who were able to reproduce.  This is probably more of a gtk-list
question but I figured I'd ask here first.

Anyone have an idea why this would be happening?

Thanks
