Apparently this is a WinXP problem, for it also thinks \366 is not printable in German (and other versions of Windows thinks it is).
(Uwe Ligges pointed that out a few hours ago.)
R 1.9.1 did not check, and so made a mess of trying to print non-printable characters, in particular nuls and control characters.
There is no simple workaround, as you do want octal representation for non-printable characters (e.g. embedded nuls). What I have proposed is that we override Windows' view for upper (>= 0x80) characters.
It does not seem to be common: the only reports before today were for Chinese, which is not expected to work.

Hi all.
After upgrading to R2.0.1 i get
"æ"[1] "æ""ø"[1] "\370""å"[1] "å"
Whereas under R1.9.1 i get
"æ"[1] "æ""ø"[1] "ø""å"[1] "å"
Any hints apreciated.
