Now Lazarus seems to set the compiler to by default handle strings as

Not the compiler, the RTL.

So simply avoiding to do this (and use the locale ANSI setting) would
make Lazarus (user code) Unicode - unaware and hence avoid such problems
with 99 % of the applications, while of course the 1 % of the
applications that in fact do need Unicode handling would not work in
that mode (but maybe could be configured to use a "Unicode mode", if
they don't want to define their Unicode aware string variables
explicitly ) ???
(Of course conversion to/from Unicode in the LCL-interface for GUI calls
might cost some addition CPU cycles.)
