Comment(by rtoy):

 Keeping track of the octets is probably the only "correct" solution.
 There's no guarantee that the input (octet-to-code) state has any
 relationship to the output (code-to-octet) state, so there may be no
 consistent way run string-encode correctly.

 Some tests with keeping track of the char lengths indicate that the cost
 is fairly low, at least when reading characters one at a time (but the
 conversion is still done a block at a time and doled out one character at
 a time).
