qemu.pod is a generated file; the version in my build tree starts out:

=encoding UTF-8

and then uses proper UTF-8 encoding of line 95:

What do the following output in your setup:

$ locale
$ grep =encoding qemu.pod
$ sed -n '92,98p' qemu.pod | od -tx1z

I'm wondering if somehow you have a non-UTF-8 locale such that the
generated .pod file is encoded in a different locale, to the point that
pod2man then chokes on the file.
