Yeah, this is a bug.  This one:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=87267

This was actually fixed in Encode 2.53 (which was released a week ago today)

https://metacpan.org/source/DANKOGAI/Encode-2.54/Changes

Now decode_utf8 does exactly what the documentation says it used to, they are now equivalent.

Mark.
