tx_indexedsearch description text with utf-8 encoding issues

Description
Under certain conditions the preg_replace() function in the second line of markupSWpartsOfString() produces wrong output. This preg_replace() is resonsible for reducing multiple blank spaces to a single one.
$str = preg_replace('/\s\s+/',' ',$str);
In the Frontend, the blank space character produced by this function is parsed wrong, most likely by the htmlspecialchars() later in the same function.
Hint: The problem might be related to the iconv implementation "libiconv" version 1.11, as the error didn't appear on another system with exactly the same PHP / TYPO3 / MySQL setup.
It seems like the preg_replace() function produces a false encoded blank space, which is later encoded to a "broken" utf-8 character (square with question mark).

That can be solved by using "u" modifier to preg_replace but there are two problems:
- PCRE can be compiled without Unicode
- encoding can be other than UTF-8
No patch yet :(

The issue is very old, does this issue exists in newer versions of TYPO3 CMS (4.5 or 6.1)?
