Isn't the problem here that r_mess and mess _are_ utf-8 encoded, but 
operator<<(std::ostream&, const Glib::ustring&) can't convert to the 
encoding used for printing?
You may find some useful information in bug 661588, 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661588.

And I agree with Chris Vine that you should have been more specific. 
"The program throws a Glib::ConvertError exception with message 
BlaBlaBla" is much more informative than "The program breaks."
