As stated in the help, line2byte() is about byte indexes, not character counts,
like many other Vim functions (stridx(), strlen(), etc.) You have to convert to
a character count yourself:
let cnt = strchars(str) " new in Vim 7.3
let cnt = strlen(substitute(str, '.', 'x', 'g'))
This seems to be much faster for long strings:
let cnt = len(split(str, '\zs'))
