It can't be a fix. At the time of loading, such a hex
escape will be decoded into an integer number, but as the
number is invalid as a character code (before the
corresponding charset is defined), the loader signals an
error.

Currently we don't have a mechanism to distinguish builtin
charsets from user's charsets. I'll implement such a
mechanism (not difficult) if it is really useful.
