I’m on 2.0.0-p598 and I see a problem that looks a lot like
Bug #8767: IO.copy_stream should write in binary mode. - Ruby master - Ruby Issue Tracking System (IO.copy_stream should write in
binary mode). It’s unclear if this patch was ever backported to 2.0.0.
How
can I tell?

I’m on 2.0.0-p598 and I see a problem that looks a lot like
Bug #8767: IO.copy_stream should write in binary mode. - Ruby master - Ruby Issue Tracking System (IO.copy_stream should write in
binary mode). It’s unclear if this patch was ever backported to 2.0.0. How
can I tell?

The page that describes the issue (the link you post) includes some
test code:

–8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<–
require ‘tempfile’
require ‘stringio’
Encoding.default_internal = ‘UTF-8’
out = Tempfile.new(‘out’)
out.binmode

before this patch it raises:

in `write’: “\xDE” from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

(Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)
IO.copy_stream(StringIO.new(“\xDE\xAD\xBE\xEF”), out)
–8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<–

As mentioned in the comment, if the patch is not applied, an exception
of class Encoding::UndefinedConversionError will be raised when
running it.

Check the ChangeLog file that you got with the release and search for
“8767” in the commit messages. It looks like it was not backported,
so you can file a backport ticket:
