Weird... there are no "null" characters in the string (I think). I doubt that zeros are the problem (unless zero converts to null in Base64) as zero is a value, not null.
One thing however - the string I got was constructed on CF 4.5 - perhaps you have to create your string in CF 5.0? Perhaps it's having trouble decoding across versions? (It shouldn't have, but maybe it does) Weird.
