This correctly finds a \377 character in a unibyte buffer:
(let ((case-fold-search nil)) (search-forward "\377"))
This fails to match \377 and actually finds \277 instead:
(let ((case-fold-search t)) (search-forward "\377"))
`downcase' behaves strangely too:
(let ((default-enable-multibyte-characters nil))
(with-temp-buffer
(downcase 255)))
=> 4194303
These problems exist in trunk and Emacs 23, and did not occur in
Emacs 22.

This part is by design, I think: see the node "Character Codes" in the
ELisp manual. 4194303 is the internal multibyte representation of the
raw byte 255, part of the eight-bit charset.

I'm no longer able to reproduce this bug, so I think it was fixed by
Andreas' recent fixes in this area.
