I'm a little surprised that these tests pass in macOS 14 with native
(aka not from Homebrew) iconv. Apple replaced GNU iconv with a custom
version in macOS 14, which also caused a fair bit of breakages among
other third-party software. I would have expected this CI test to
break on macOS 14 unless this is a new behavior change / bug
introduced in macOS 15.

But yes, one way to fix it is to just provide the Homebrew GNU iconv
via ICONVDIR.
