Thanks to Maurício Fauth for finding and reporting this bug.
The bug was introduced in October 2022. It originally only affected
text encodings which do not have a fixed byte width per characters
and for which mbstring does not have an mblen_table. However, I recently
made another change to mbstring, such that mb_substr no longer relies
on the mblen_table even if one is available. Because of this change,
the bug earlier introduced in October 2022 now affected a greater
number of text encodings, including UTF-8.
