Correct.

Citation, please? I found no such guarantee in the definition of EOF
(7.21.1p3) nor in the definition of getchar() (7.21.7.6).

In the unlikely event that UCHAR_MAX > INT_MAX, getchar()'s definition
combined with the reversibility requirements for I/O on binary streams
(7.21.2p3) imply that getchar() must return EOF when reading a byte that
was written by calling putchar(EOF).
