I don't know what that refers to.
I suspect the problem concerns eight-bit-... characters. If you
search for them, you have to get the multibyteness of the search
string right in a way I always have to look up. [vc-annotate should
show you what edit was responsible.]
However, I installed code in `select-safe-coding-system' some time ago
which should point to the first offending character when selection
fails. (As far as I remember, that was supposed to be done long ago,
but never was.) If the development source doesn't show you the
offending character and advocate C-u C-x =, there's something wrong
with that code.
