Hi Raimund

disclaimer I have not touched R3 yet.

R2 parse is not limited to strings,
a binary is still a series and parse
will accept a series.

have you checked that the parsed result
is a block of string and not a block of binaries?

if so maybe
  since some binaries are just strings
  and parse is in string mode when it is splitting on chars not rules
  the result is allowed to be a string (conjecture)

you might try to split a true binary (for example an image file)
with a newline and see it the result is a string or binary
