That is correct, the _utf8() variants should only exist in 32 bit binaries.
Code calling the non _utf8() variants when compiled against a glib newer than
2.18 (iirc) automatically use the _utf8() dll entry points. The non _utf8()
dll entry points are (or where) provided for backward compatibility. In
other words, to support binaries compiled against a glib version older
than 2.18 (again, iirc). At least, that was the idea back when this
was implemented.

This compatibility problem never existed with 64 bit binaries, hence the
_utf8() variants should simply not exist there.
