Now I'm all curious, as there is not any ussue in the posted sample.

But I guess I understand now what OP had in mind (though failed to
say):

This must be about the "Korean issue" in IE
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/browse_frm/thread/d444d7077da80dd7/6b7880c6efe5397a>

That is not really Microsoft problem - Unicode had to think better
while planning UTF-7 standard.

That has no practical danger though, because in order to reproduce this
"encoding shift" one has to violate severely HTTP standards: the page
has to be served both without server-provided content encoding and
without http-equiv on the page.

So I would even consider it now not as a flaw but as a rather useful
penalization mechanics to bad web-developers (or server admins)
