$ echo xäx | iconv -t UTF-8 | iconv -f UTF-8
iconv: (stdin): cannot convert

I also tried it now under Windows without using cygwin and got
the same ClientException (BTW: I only have the JavaHL bindings
for Windows as I didn't manage to build them under cygwin).
For me the question is why does everything else work but only
throw an exception if there are changed properties.

I again wonder why everything else works using JavaHL.
If the conversion from or to UTF-8 wouldn't work at all
I would expect to get ClientExceptions in other cases, too.
