Hi, Emacs!
This is the message I meant to CC: to emacs-devel. It looks serious.

Of the good and the bad representations, if I do "C-x =" on each, I get
this:
Char: ñ (241, #o361, #xf1, file #xF1)
Char: \361 (4194289, #o17777761, #x3ffff1, raw-byte)
This sequence reproduces the bug:
M-: (setq nl "\n")
M-: (aset nl 0 ?ñ
M-: (insert nl)
So it looks a bit like the `aset' invocation is doing damage, by doing
sign extension rather than zero filling.

Linux tty.
