- (Maybe) Mention the position in the octet stream at which the decoding failure occurred
Yes, I'd love that, also for many other bulk-loading error messages
That should have been covered in the release candidate as the rejects() table containing detailed context information about all failed row.
- (Maybe) Provide the context of decoded characters, e.g. "The quick brown fox ... etc ... lazy d\xDE\xAD\xBE\xEF"
We could consider that --- but then we have to show the non-UTF-8 characters as hex or octal values, and I'm sure users will complain that their provided data does not contain these (literal) character sequences ...
- Repeat Stefan's explanation on this wiki page:

indeed --- at least mention that strings are UTF-8 strings
