This issue seems to be still open after one year. There was a proposed fix:

the discussion seems to tail off without an obvious resolution.
This is a clear bug in fpwidestring and needs to be fixed. What is the
status?
Unresolved, someone needs to take a deep dive into this;
The comments by Florian and Jonas are still unresolved:
- As far as I can see, no testcases are provided.
(a requirement for the compiler)
- I don't see a clear resolution to Jonas' remark that the len is already taking
into account the null terminator.
- Unfortunately the branch can no longer be merged as-is, since trunk has
evolved too much :/
The patch also mixes various issues: some things in the compiler, some
things in the RTL. These should be separated out. I think that is easily
doable. I'll look at applying the RTL patches separately next week if no-one
did it before. It would help if there was a testcase for the compiler.
Michael.
