From what I can see by comparing the outputs, UTF-8 is still converted, though 
the writeout might be correct. With "verbose", I get in yytname_ an entry
  "\"\\342\\210\\216\""
whereas with "detailed" in yy_sname
  "\342\210\216"

An improvement if you are not supposed to read the parser source code.

The other errors occurred because I report errors in the grammar actions as:
        throw syntax_error(@x, "Name " + $x.text + " already defined in this 
scope as "
          + yytnamerr_(yytname_[x0->first - 255]) + ".");

So perhaps you made some API for that?
