Comment (by athrxx):

 You're right. I didn't look closely, before, but we do insert the 0xFF
 ourselves in script_v2.cpp, lines 379 - 384. And I hacked in the French
 string after that, so I didn't notice/care.

 Yes, it is definitely var 7 (VAR_CHARCOUNT). I also don't know yet, if the
 original handles that different than we do. We do increase it for each
 character we process (string.cpp, line 872). But if the original gets a
 different result just by 1 less, then the check would pass...
