Hm, it is bit surprising because I thought UTF-8 mode is fallback
of locale coercion when coercion is failed or disabled.

As PEP 538 [1], all coercion target locales uses surrogateescape
for stdin and stdout.
So, do you mean "UTF-8 mode enabled as flag level, but it has no
real effects"?

Since coercion target locales and UTF-8 mode do same thing,
I think this is not a big issue.
But I want it is clarified in the PEP.
