Ruby does not convert well from UTF8-MAC to UTF-8

The attached script shows it is the only encoding to behave that way and which is compatible 'é' or 'è' in UTF-8.

The results is:
UTF8-MAC Backward conversion: not the same bytes:
[169, 0, 116, 168, 0] != [195, 169, 116, 195, 168]
UTF8-MAC Backward conversion: not the same chars:
["\xA9", "\u0000", "t", "\xA8", "\u0000"] != ["é", "t", "è"]

This issue prevent, without Iconv, from converting properly UTF8-MAC String (from HFS paths) to UTF-8
