[tex-live] detex -w is not 8-bit clean

Hello!
While detex in TL '12 has no problems to preserve 8-bit characters, this fails when detex is used to output the text as a long list of one single word per line, i.e., in the detex -w mode. An example: the word "schön" in the text body is output as
sch
The "ö" is swallowed, and the remaining "n" is too short to be output as a word.
P.S.: Are these lines from detex.l correct? Or is the "minpage" just an internal symbol?
191 <LaBegin>{S}"{"{S}"minipage"{S}"}" { KILLARGS(1);
192 if (BeginEnv("minpage"))
193 BEGIN LaEnv;
194 else
195 BEGIN Normal;
196 IGNORE;
197 }

Greetings
