Marc, I want to say on some points:

n.b. By now, I haven’t decided utf8::all would be used or not.

:encoding and :utf8 behave differently each other.  See the manual.  It 
depends which is better (or neither suit).

I don’t mind.  Why do you think so?

fc() has already been used in Sympa 6.2.  Please read source code.  I don’t 
understand what is “weird bug”.

I don’t know.  Why do you think so?

FB_CROAK behaves such.  I don’t stop using Encode only this reason.  Please 
read my posts.
