Needs a new patch and some testing before commit:

We can't rely on mb_ functions existing so we need a fallback for that.

Replying to westi:

Several years on, and the only real fallback is to see if the function_exists before calling it. Still, that would hopefully catch a fair proportion of affected cases, wouldn't it?
