And so I did. It seems the problem is not reading, but _writing_.

00000000 4d 61 cc 88 72 63 68 65 6e 0a |Ma..rchen.| 0000000a

So, instead of writing "4d c3 a4 72 63 68 65 6e" it actually writes "4d 61 cc 88 72 63 68 65 6e". It might be possible that this is some "intelligent" encoding mapping, but ...

de-DE.utf-8

... so I think Mac OS X is wrong.
