Actually, this has nothing to do with `insert', right?
It's the reader that interprets the \240 in "[\240]+" as a byte rather
than a char.

There are many different ways to interpret this, and I can give you one
where the behavior is explained without paying attention to
multibyte/unibyte differences.

\240 in your string means "the byte with octal number 0240".
