It seems to work properly when one declares the proper encoding of the
string literal, e.g.:

   <<"fml.ölm vcrd rd hb kh ouniun"/utf8>>

In any case, the error is reproducible with the non-compiled regex if you
pass 'unicode' option when calling :replace.

   re:replace(S, <<>>, <<>>,  [unicode, global, {return, binary}])

That is: the non-compiled call wasn't interpreting the input as UTF8. Which
is why it worked.
