I wouldn't see this as a bug: You can assume that mbrtowc returns
0 if and only if the multibyte sequence is a NUL byte - but you had
chosen srcend in such a way that this would not happen in the loop.

Oops, you're right. My mistake as well.
The new patch looks good.
This will catch (and replace with '?') U+2028 and U+2029 on glibc systems.
On macOS, it will not do this, because iswcntrl(0x2028) and iswcntrl(0x2029)
is 0 on this system; this is consistent with the fact that the 'Terminal'
program displays these characters as simple spaces. So, no need to override
iswcntrl on macOS.
