Hello Nicholas,

I got your netmail and I am afraid I can not be of much help. Except maybe for this:
Many years ago - on my request - in order to produce a proper "UTF-8 4" kludge line an optional second parameter was added to the level number line in the .chs file. My 850_utf8.chs file starts with this:
4 ; ID number
1 ; version number
;
2 4 ; level number
;
CP850 ; from set
UTF-8 ; to set
Note the "2 4" in the third non comment line. The '2' is to signal that the actual tranlsation is a level 2 operation. The '4' is the level to present in the CHRS kludge line.
As this was added many, many years ago I expect it to be present in your Golded versions as well.
