You seem to have a very US-centric Windows installation without any
multilanguage support installed... 0x81 isn't a valid character in
CP437, IIRC, I wonder if apr_iconv thinks it's converting to CP850
(which is the "international ASCII", poor-man's DOS latin-1, sort of).
In that case, that's certainly a bug in apr-iconv.
