It doesn't matter. "\nnn" in a string is still interpreted as unibyte.

Insertion with C-q does something different.

\240 could be taken as NBPS or as a literal byte. They have different
representations in Emacs and are treated differently, but are
identical numerically outside of Emacs.

For the same reason you'd use ?a and not \141: it's more clear to the
human reader.
Using octal escapes for non-ASCII characters in Emacs is deprecated
and dangerous. You just bumped into one danger; there are more. I
suggest you avoid this notation as much as you can.
