Thanks, should be fixed with this MR:

  https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/2231

Out of interest: Which font shows this behaviour?

I suggest you contact the FontConfig people and report the issue, too;
assuming that the font is valid it should be possible to convert the
non-UTF8 data to UTF8.
