I don't know why some hacked-up CMS did not liked current iconv. But in
phpinfo, iconv version shown as "unknown" which is probably traced to
absense of /include/gnu/libc-version.h and I suspect that they check it
or use some nonstandard extensions or PHP is mad. Building PHP 5.4
statically with gnu libiconv.a reset version to known one and
everything works.
I need to ask our php hackers about this (they maintain stuff) or
grep for all iconv which appears in sources.

I replaced gnu libc stack with musl one on our middly loaded sites in
large LAN/MAN and it works great and easier to maintain, fix and modify
in a way you want :)
