In fact, handling characters outside of the courant local under Windows 
was hopeless before Fx 2.0 that includes the fix for bug 162361.
But even after that version, some specific cases seem still broken.
The positive point is that they should now be easy to fix if properly 
identified.

This one looks really similar to bug 359148 that was fixed from 2.0.1 
upwards. Maybe it's a small variation of bug 359148 that was 
unfortunately not covered by the patch of bug 359148.

I think most concerned users are so used to those problems that they 
don't really report them.
