These additional bytes are not counted as part of the content length for the purposes of computing the "filepos" of link targets.
Well, UTF-8 encoded books does not seem to be so common so I have not noticed this before. Why use UTF-8 and not entities?

Coding UTF-8 or other character set related things is probably the most boring thing I know. When I started using computers there was problem with Swedish characters and ISO 8859-1 support in programs. It is so depressing to have similar kind of problems 25 years later...
