$ man wcsxfrm
...
	If n is 0, stra may be a NULL pointer.

	(NOT Cygwin:) The current implementation of wcsxfrm simply uses wcslcpy
	and does not support any language-specific transformations.
...

As wcslcpy is a BSD extension, any expectations are excessive; OpenBSD says:

"Also note that wcslcpy() and wcslcat() only operate on wide strings that are
terminated with a null wide character (L'\0'). This means that for wcslcpy() src
must be terminated with a null wide character..."
