I think the idea is to be sure that there's a full multibyte character
after the truncation point; if the truncation point is within a multibyte
character, then you might have only a partial multibyte character after
that, which could cause problems.  Doing it this way, mbcliplen will
never look at the last possibly-truncated character.
