Yes this is true. Here is your example below. Unfortuneately I could not find
any good binary candidates because they had nulls in the beginnings, so I just
demonstrated at the console.
>> test: ""
== ""
>> for I 1 255 1 [ append test to-char i ] ; Must skip null because of bug.
== {^A^B^C^D^E^F^G^H^-
^K^L^M^N^O^P^Q^R^S^T^U^V^W^X^Y^Z^[^\^]^!^_ !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@A
BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^^_`...
>> code: "^/[rebol[] confirm {test}]"
== "^/[rebol[] confirm {test}]"
>> append test code
== {^A^B^C^D^E^F^G^H^-

>> for I 0 255 1 [ append test to-char i ] ; Can have nulls after the code.

My recommendation is to just write a function that would works like 'do is
supposed to. This way when RT fixes the bug you can just switch over to using
'do.
