1. Perl gets smarter about duping file handles, so that the dupes get the same i/o layer settings as the handles they dupe.

Changing this going forwards doesn't change any of the installed perls out there in the wild.

So far, given that this problem has only surfaced in relation to Unicode, I can't say I'm overly concerned about fixing it on versions of Perl where Unicode is already known to be broken. Of course, as soon as someone comes up with other layers for which we have a definite problem, I'll shut up.
