The buffer isn't in UTF-8 encoded?
; oct dec hex UCS2 UTF-8
;=====================================
ü = 374 = 252 = FC = U+00FC = C3 BC : LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH
DIAERESIS
Octal 303 is hex C3, octal 274 is hex BC. Both are no regular
characters in your buffer's encoding, so they're presented in octal
and so "Der schnelle braune Fuchs sprang \303\274ber die Br\303
\274cke." is the sentence "Der schnelle braune Fuchs sprang über die
Brücke." presented to you as UTF-8 encoded inside a non-UTF-8 encoded
buffer.
Tell babel to not return UTF-8 or change your buffer's encoding.
