Thanks again, that has

    $ g 'seems not' *patch
    +        L"Warning: Locale seems not configured\n");
    $

Note the ‘L’; it's wide.

    $ tr -d \\000 <paraur |
    > LC_ALL=C egrep -oa '[ -~]*seems not configured'
    Warning: Locale seems not configured
    $
    $ sed -n l paraur | egrep -A7 'W[\\0]+a[\\0]+r[\\0]+n'
