your problem looks the same as bug #12949 ... 
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=12949>

i see a patch for that bug 
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/download.php?item_id=12949&item_file_id=2555>,
 
but i can't tell from the comments if the patch is just a band-aid or a 
real fix.  it looks to me like the patch might be hiding a real problem -- 
why is the illegal character being passed down that far in the first 
place?

i'd be willing to commit the patch if it really is the right fix...
