I don't see any extraneous characters in
sys_context('userenv','session_user')either. But the trailing null in
v$session.machine for Windows connections is a known problem. Bug 646174 shows
version 8.1.5. I tried in 9.2.0.1. It still exists:

SQL> select dump(machine) from v$session where machine = 'ICONIX\YONGHUANG';

no rows selected

SQL> select machine from v$session where machine like 'ICONIX\YONGHUANG_';

MACHINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICONIX\YONGHUANG

SQL> select dump(machine) from v$session where machine like
'ICONIX\YONGHUANG_';

DUMP(MACHINE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typ=1 Len=17: 73,67,79,78,73,88,92,89,79,78,71,72,85,65,78,71,0
