Hmmm, digging deeper, I saved the page source code and opened it with 
hexdump. The relevant lines are:

00007780  60 60 0d 0a 26 67 74 3b  26 67 74 3b 26 67 74 3b  |``..&gt;&gt;&gt;|
00007790  20 73 20 3d 20 27 30 f0  90 a4 80 30 30 27 0d 0a  | s = '0....00'..|

which looks like Eryk Sun is correct, what is really there is '0X00' and 
Firefox just displays it in RTL order '000X'.

Mystery solved :-)

So now that only leaves the (unreproduced?) bug report of the difference 
in order between indexing and list(). Max, are you still certain that 
this difference exists? Can you replicate it with other strings, 
preferably with distinct characters?
