Found!

Actually the problem is in iconv AIX implementation, iconv is a function
like

size_t iconv(iconv_t cd,
char **inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft,
char **outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

if *inbuf is NULL and *inbytesleft is 0 AIX threat input as an infinite
buffer with zeroes so it convert an empty string (cause for libTDS view is
an empty string) to a set of zeroes (actually up to the output buffer which
is 4095 if you take into account space for terminator).

The simpler fix is to test and assume empty string if *inbytesleft == 0 in
tds_iconv.
