Right.

The only case where there could be a missing reference is if the source
code contains an FFI reference stored in non-ASCII / UTF-8.

So we need to parse other encodings too as Mark suggested if I
understand correctly.

Absolutely, .fasls suffer from the same problem since they may encode
strings as UTF-32.
