Thanks for the info. With mbstring installed everything seems to work
now. Perhaps a warning in configtest if mbstring is not present would be
a good idea ?

Or just have squirrelmail require php-mbstring if it's required for 
correct operation?

That's the Fedora part.
I was grumbling the php-mbstring dep is not obvious, SM site says it's
needed for japanese (when in fact it's needed for pretty much every
single UTF-8 locale) and configtest puts it at the same level as
optional/experimental stuff like recode

I've rebuilt a package that works for me, the instructions to fix the
Fedora one are in bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162852)
