Thanks for all the answers, pretty enlighting even I'm not sure I get 
everything 100%.

So, what to do for now? File a bug-report? What needs to be fixed?

I'm using the ref approach for now, in hope it will be OK for my 
use-case, which is converting a wstring to a grapheme[], alter the 
array, and map it back to a wstring. Sounds like a lot of porcessing 
for handling unicode text, but I don't think it gets a lot simpler than 
that.
