That's new to me. Do you have a link that backs this up?
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=644786
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?the_utf8_perlio_layer
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html#Security-Implications-of-Unicode
(perlunicode doesn't refer to :utf8 but does explain how malformed utf8
can cause trouble.)
Perl change #32461 updated documentation to reflect the preference for
:encoding
