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.
