Yes, it's pretty obvious, thank you.
I haven't had time to look deeper, but that part of the code is pretty
nasty because it tries to be clever about the fact that values between
128-256 can be either latin-1 chars and eight-bit-bytes and it tries to
be lenient about confusion between the two.
The behavior you see is clearly a bug.
