Answer 1

I did eventually get an answer over at experts-exchange; here's what worked:

function my_fputcsv($handle, $fieldsarray, $delimiter = "~", $enclosure ='"'){
   $glue = $enclosure . $delimiter . $enclosure;
   return fwrite($handle, $enclosure . implode($glue,$fieldsarray) . $enclosure.PHP_EOL);
}

Answer 2

This is an improved version of @John Douthat's great answer, preserving the possibility of using custom delimiters and enclosures and returning fputcsv's original output:

function fputcsv_eol($handle, $array, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $eol = "\n") {
    $return = fputcsv($handle, $array, $delimiter, $enclosure);
    if($return !== FALSE && "\n" != $eol && 0 === fseek($handle, -1, SEEK_CUR)) {
        fwrite($handle, $eol);
    }
    return $return;
}
