I just used M-x report-emacs-bug so I don't know why it was misdirected.
My followup is set to gmane.emacs.devel because that's how I read
emacs-devel, but I thought GMane would automatically route that
appropriately.

Maybe /bin/echo would be better? I don't know the details of what this
does, but it seems pretty gnarly :) You could even do
echo hhh|tr h '\134'
on ASCII systems. Anyhow, it's fixed, thanks a lot for looking at it.
