Just checked and I get the incorrect behaviour with the upper-case UTF-8
in emacs.info's "Local Variables:" section.

I built Emacs from git myself on OS X.

Now I think about it, I'm sure I've seen error messages regarding UTF-8
being invalid when building... Yup:

./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
  GEN      ../../info/eshell.info
./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
  GEN      ../../info/eudc.info
./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
  GEN      ../../info/efaq.info
./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
  GEN      ../../info/eww.info
./../emacs/docstyle.texi:3: warning: unrecognized encoding name `UTF-8'.
  GEN      ../../info/flymake.info

There are quite a lot of them. I guess one for each info file.

The only place I can think of right now that has this in upper case
that might affect the build is:

    breton:/Users/alan/src/emacs/master>echo $LANG
    en_GB.UTF-8
