I don't remember well :-(, but it seems that the change is
to make unibyte-display-via-language-environment work
without setting up standard-display-table.  I've just
installed the attached patch.  Now
    M-: (standard-display-default 128 255) RET
should work.

        * xdisp.c (get_next_display_element): If
        unibyte_display_via_language_environment is zero, display 8-bit
        chars in octal in unibyte buffer.
