When decode_coding_iso2022 reads a ISO_graphic_plane_0 character, it
doesn't check whether charset0 is negative before assigning it to
charset; every other place where charset can be set has such check.
The -1 comes from CODING_SPEC_ISO_PLANE_CHARSET(coding, 0).

Fformat_time_string is called by the Lisp function emacs-version, which
is called from startup.el during startup.  I don't think there's anything
odd about that.
