But Emacs 22 already has a large user community, and I don't
recall anyone actually complaining about it!

Indeed.

Is this a problem for any of the lisp files included in CVS emacs ??
Then it could be a problem wrt distribution pre-built versions.
Otherwise, I still think it is better left alone -- and documented
as you suggested (or simply advise against distributing such files
to anybody and let them compile the files themselves).
Could the byte-compiler warn if it encounters a non-ascii character
that may cause problems?
