No, because the former doesn't signal an error.  (And I didn't want to
use any of those string-to/as-uni/multibyte functions anyway.)

The only thing we are supposed to do in the multibyte case is to make
sure the raw bytes are converted to their single-byte representation,
which is exactly what raw-text-unix does.
