Seems like at least some of those have already been
fixed in CVS. Could you check the latest CVS snapshot:

It's fixed in one place, but it still doesn't set the trailing '\0' 
if encoder == NULL, if I understand it correctly.

Could you add a short script that demonstrates what the bug is?

I noticed the bug when we used utf8-encoded dn in ldap_search. However, the bug that bite me is fixed in the
latest snapshot.

Though it seems to me that there may be another bug in
utf8_encode, if encoder == NULL, since it doesn't look
as if the code in that block takes the trailing '\0' in
consideration.
I don't know how to test this in a PHP-script however, so
it's just my suspicion.

I made the xml_utf8_encode to null terminate the strings
if the encoding is null.
