<snipped> Iʼll leave Gijs to look at the questions about his backtrace.

    Eli> This indeed cannot happen, since $1 and $2 mean the buffer is either

    Eli> Is the buffer multibyte or not?  (You can tell by looking at the value
    Eli> of 'BVAR (buffer, enable_multibyte_characters)'.)  Also, can you show
    Eli> the entire text of the buffer, which begins at current_buffer->text->beg?
    Eli> You need to exercise caution near the gap (unless it's at the end of
    Eli> the buffer), because the gap is not part of buffer text.

(gdb) pp BVAR(current_buffer,enable_multibyte_characters)
t
(gdb)
(gdb) pp BVAR(buffer,enable_multibyte_characters)
t

Thereʼs one stray \342 in there, but the rest looks like ASCII. The
character gnus should be trying to insert is #x2713, which is
represented as #xE2 #x9C #x93 (\342 \234 \223), so it looks like there
are some bytes missing.
