I don't see how this can create any problems, and it does solve the one 
of having a link to a non-existing table, so I would say +1 for backport.

I've only tested this very briefly, but results seem identical and the 
speedup is very significant, so I would plead for backport, but MarkusM 
should have the last word on this.

No idea on this particular fix, but I have the feeling that the whole 
encoding handling could need a serious overall reflection with a clear 
definition of coding rules. AFAIU, at this stage we have different 
"solutions" across the code and that none are really satisfactory, 
especially as none is really implemented in a global and unified way.
