If the error handler is supposed to be used for codecs other than utf-8, perhaps it should renamed something more generic, e.g. "surrogate-escape"? Perhaps. However, utf-8b doesn't really have to do anything with utf-8 - it's an algorithm based on 16-bit or 32-bit code points. If the error handler doesn't have anything to do with UTF-8, then why do you use "utf8" in the name. Please use a more descriptive name for the handler which does not cause confusion with a existing codec.
Having already been confused, I agree.
