The umlaut y (�) is ANSI CHAR(255). If I'm not mistaken, RBase uses
CHAR(255) to store a null value. The RBWin RBASE.CFG collation tables use
the ANSI character set. For some reason, the form is interpreting the null
value as a text value, hence the umlaut y displayed. (Therefore, changing
your null value - to ? for example - should not affect the problem).
It may be a bug, but to solve it you need to find what your particular
circumstances are that are causing the bug to manifest. I have seen this
before and have always managed to get rid of it somehow. Keep playing around
with it - you'll find a workaround.
