IMPDB & UTF8

While researching a problem we have I came across Note: *144808.1
it says in part....

For the moment, do NOT use Expdp/Impdp when going to UTF8 or a other multibyte
      characterset on ALL 10g versions including 10.2.0.3 and 11.1.0.6.
      It will provoke data corruption!
      This is caused by the impdp Bug 5874989.
<https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Bug&id=5874989.>
      The "old" exp/imp work fine. This problem is fixed in the upcoming
      10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7 patchsets.
      For 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 you can ask a backport for Bug 5874989
<https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Bug&id=5874989>
      if you need to use expdp/impdp.



So now I am back to using exp/imp again. :-(
