Not really. That's just the ASN.1. For 256 byte octet string, the length field
is one byte longer than for 255 or 254 bytes.

Yesterday I got one more idea: we've ruled out padding, but maybe a zero byte
in the middle would somehow get lost. So I tried all the ways one could place
two zero bytes into the 254 byte string, and got nothing.
