Consider the following code:
vim -u NONE -c $'set list lcs=nbsp:\x0D' \

You will see cursor placed on the second virtual `M' (from `^M'), but
`ga' will
show that you are on the letter `a'. Passing special characters to `tab'
suboption causes more corruption, but is less reproducible. With
fillchars
results are better: highlighting partially disappears, but that's all
(tested
only with vert and stl).
That code is invalid, see :help 'listchars'
UTF-8 characters can be used when 'encoding' is "utf-8",
otherwise only printable characters are allowed. All characters
must be single width
I suppose a more adequate formulation would be:
Only single-width printable characters are allowed.
Multibyte characters are allowed only if 'encoding' is "utf-8".
The bug, if there is one, is that
:set list lcs=nbsp:\x0D
(with a non-printable character) does not generate an error (I get "E474
Invalid argument", which IMO is no bug.)
I'm on gvim 7.3.269, Huge build with GTK2/Gnome GUI, under utf-8
'encoding'. My "usual" 'list'/'listchars' setting is
:set list lcs=eol:ś,tab:\|_,nbsp:~,conceal:*
but even temporarily trying to set only
:set list=\x0D
gives me the above-mentioned error, and 'listchars' is not modified.

...and for some reason that f???ing bl??dy st??id googlegroups interface
changed my Pilcrow mark to an s-acute. Well, the exact character used
there is irrelevant in this case but still, I don't like it. The copy in
my "Sent" folder is in 8bit ISO-8859-1 with the correct Pilcrow mark;
after the [me (SMTP) relay.skynet.be (ESMTP) googlegroups.com (SMTP)
gmail.com (POP3) me] round-trip it comes back in quoted-printable UTF-8
as =C5=9B (equal Charlie Pantafayf equal Noveniner Bravo) which means
U+015B SMALL LATIN LETTER S WITH ACUTE instead of the 0xB6 (U+00B6
PILCROW MARK) which I had sent. Ah, why couldn't Google simply
understand that Latin1 0xB6 means UTF-8 U+00B6? You don't need iconv to
know that. Ah, Google pisses me off. >:-(
Best regards,
Tony.
