Oh, sorry, I misunderstood your earlier comments. I reopened the bug.
The only documentation for this feature is obscure and hidden. There
is nothing in `message''s doc string which explicitly states likely
unwanted replacement of characters takes place; just a puzzling
"exception proves the rule" paragraph.
I installed the attached patch into master, which I hope makes that doc
string sufficiently clear. I'd rather not change the Emacs default
behavior, though, for reasons already discussed.
