I don't know about that, but the underlying problem remains: you can
have a target-wide-charset which disagrees with your target, and get
nonsense. There's not even any good way for GDB to detect and warn
about this.
I've been meaning to add a note to the manual for a while explaining
this gotcha. It is pretty confusing when it does happen.
