Looks good to me. Just a couple minor things:

+ * Look at the next character. If we're at EOF, c2 will wind
+ * up as '\0' because of the guaranteed pad of raw_buf.
*/
- IF_NEED_REFILL_AND_NOT_EOF_CONTINUE(0);
-
- /* get next char */
c = copy_raw_buf[raw_buf_ptr];

The new comment seems copy-pasted from the c2 statements further down.

- if (raw_buf_ptr >= copy_buf_len || need_data)
+#define COPY_READ_LINE_LOOKAHEAD 4
+ if (raw_buf_ptr + COPY_READ_LINE_LOOKAHEAD >= copy_buf_len)

Is this #define deliberately put down here rather than at the top of the
file?

- * of the buffer and then we load more data after that. This case occurs
only
- * when a multibyte character crosses a bufferload boundary.
+ * of the buffer and then we load more data after that.

Is the removed comment really invalidated by this patch? I figured it was
something not affected until the patch to do the encoding conversion in
larger chunks.
