If you mean print-escape-nonascii then it has no effect on values printed from interactive Lisp evaluation in the *scratch* buffer (C-j) either. Since that behaviour is less deceptive and appears more useful in general, it would both bring some consistency to the mess and make users happier. It not only fixes M-: but also C-x C-e and C-M-x.
