In *scratch* buffer, type this, then use C-x C-e after it:
(princ (substitute-command-keys "\\{global-map}") (current-buffer))
You will see this:
key binding
--- -------
\200 .. \377 self-insert-command
C-@ set-mark-command
C-a move-beginning-of-line
etc.
The bug is that the \200 and the \377 are treated differently. The
\200 is a single octal character; the \377 is four characters, \, 3,
7, 7.
This has consequences for code that uses this output as input.

I believe this is simply how the Lisp printer behaves. Note that
string_count_byte8 is zero for \200, but one for \377; hence \200 is
printed literally, while \377 is converted into an escaped string.
Using `insert' rather than `princ' probably gives the result you want.
I'm no expert on this area, though, so maybe someone else could comment
more authoritatively.

1. Yes, thanks. This treats the \200 and \377 the same way - both are single
octal characters:
(with-current-buffer "foo"
(insert (substitute-command-keys
(concat "\\{" "global-map" "}"))))
2. I'm using this in the *Help* buffer. The behavior of using octal chars here
is new with Emacs 23, BTW. In Emacs 22, I see instead " .. y", where the first
char looks like a space char and the y is really a y with an
umlaut/diaresis/trema (two dots, at least). Dunno if the new behavior is
intended or not.
[I'm not sure those represent the same two character ranges, BTW, but in any
case in Emacs 22 there are no octal chars from `substitute-command-keys'.]
