Don't know which is the official way to report a bug in 'tr'
so I will copy to this list too. CC me on replies as I am not
subscribing.

Sending mail to coreutils@HIDDEN _is_ what creates a bug on
debbugs.gnu.org, so you have managed to create a duplicate.  Paul Eggert
has already merged 9365, 10880, and 9569, so now, replying to any one of
those three is merely adding information to the same report.

Please keep in mind that upstream coreutils is not yet converted over to
multibyte support.  This is evidence of one of the places that multibyte
support is required, and therefore, where you cannot expect things to
work yet.  No one has yet contributed a maintainable patch that does not
penalize single-byte locales, at least not upstream.  Several distros
have their own UTF-8 patches that they apply, but then, this would be a
bug you report to your distro and not upstream.

Alas, dealing with multibyte characters without penalizing single-byte
locales is NOT trivial, or it would have been done long ago.

"Penalizing" single-byte locales - did you mean in performance or in functionality?
I understand that a generalized algorithm would probably be slower than one tuned for the single byte case.

But I suspect that you are also referring to some functional implication, as avoiding a solely performance related penalty in text handling command line utilities can never be a justifiable reason for incorrect functionality.

Besides, the execution path (sigle byte specific or generalized multibyte capable) can be determined at program startup, so in the worst case there can be a tr and a tr-slow-but-multibyte version, former calling the latter when so directed by the locale settings.

A minimal "solution" could also be to put a warning on each affected program's man page: "Multibyte locales currently unsupported!". It is not always immediately apparent, what the problem is, as in many special cases it happens to work as expected, then in very similar other cases it doesn't.

Something like that should work, yes.  Unfortunately so far nobody has
volunteered to do it.  The task would not be trivial.  We don't want
to maintain two copies of the code, one for single-byte and one for
multibyte, as that'd be a maintenance problem.  Instead, we'd like to
have just one copy of the code, which is easy to read and which
compiles into either unibyte or multibyte versions.

As far as I know there is no requirement in POSIX that applications
must support multibyte locales, and there's no documentation claiming
that the utilities in question support multibyte location, so this is
not a bug; it's a feature request.

My opinion about this may be colored by an experience I had yesterday
with the latest version of GNU sed.  Single-byte it worked fine;
multibyte it was so slow that I gave up.  We don't want this to
happen with the core utilities.

Try this for size...

$ echo =C3=A1rv=C3=ADz | od -t x1z -w16=20
$ echo =C3=A1rv=C3=ADz | tr -d =C3=A9 | od -t x1z -w16=20

$ echo =C3=A1rv=C3=ADz | tr -d =C3=A9 > /tmp/u.txt
$ isutf8 /tmp/u.txt

And there is not even an =E2=80=98=C3=A9=E2=80=99 in =E2=80=98=C3=
=A1rv=C3=ADz=E2=80=99..
