Note: this no longer crashes XEmacs. It probably doesn't cause a problem in practice, as anybody who really wants to work with charsets would use the fontconfig facilities rather than playing with the string representation.

Currently (XEmacs 21.5.35) use of FcNameUnparse is protected by deleting any FC_CHARSET property first. It would be nice to determine if this is necessary.
