Sorry, this was my mistake. IE8 on Windows 7 displayed James's "angry"
line like this:

ヾ(＠゜・・・・逅察・・縫吏・€ｫ€趁占ｺ碣€ｭ処腫徐ぢヽ(#`Д´)ノ
- angry

The only "private-use" character was something that got transcoded to
U+E559, and IE8 displayed that as a space, not a dot. But a quick look
at the ISO-2022-JP source shows this isn't right at all. So I guess I
did have trouble viewing it, maybe not a crash, but severe mojibake.
