We could try, but I'd prefer if you try to extract relevant pieces
from the strace output.

I'm unable to replicate your problem here with the original message,
and using your mhfixmsg invocation, mhfixmsg-format-text/html, and
locale.  The only piece I think I'm missing is your mime_helper.
I would give that a try if you send it to me.

With nmh-1.7 mhfixmsg:
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 2, decode text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 1, will not decode because it
is binary (line length > 998)
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 2, convert UTF-8 to UTF-8

With HEAD mhfixmsg:
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 2, decode text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 1, will not decode because it
is binary (line length > 998)
mhfixmsg: /home/levine/src/nmh/msg part 2, convert iso-8859-1 to UTF-8

In both cases, the UTF-8 output looks fine, I think, e.g.,
    Veuillez ne pas répondre au présent courriel. Il a été généré
