Sorry to reply to my own post, but the following rather ugly solution
solves the problem of finding a single FF byte:
      (while (/= (char-after) ?\377)
        (forward-char 1)
        )
      (forward-char 1)
This replaces 
      (search-forward (unibyte-string ?\377))
which, in emacs23, no matter what I do, insists on turning the byte
into the two-byte string \231\277 before searching.

But surely there's a better way?
