I believe this is simply how the Lisp printer behaves. Note that
string_count_byte8 is zero for \200, but one for \377; hence \200 is
printed literally, while \377 is converted into an escaped string.
Using `insert' rather than `princ' probably gives the result you want.
I'm no expert on this area, though, so maybe someone else could comment
more authoritatively.
