Thank you.  Yes, GNU has defined a new charset that we don't have.
They must have a hack of some kind to make it work with Mule-UCS.

It's possible to change the precedence of charsets in Mule-UCS.  GNU
may do this in language environment processing, but we don't yet.

Thanks for doing all the homework; I'll try to get you something to
patch up at least the mule-unicode charset hole early next week.
Hopefully also the Mule-UCS precedence issue, too.
