Using "ESC(H" at the end of JIS is not a bug.
We have four types of JIS delimiter:
1. { ESC$@, ESC(H }	Old JIS
2. { ESC$B, ESC(J }	New JIS (JIS83)
3. { ESC$@, ESC(J }	I don't know where this type is used
4. { ESC$B, ESC(B }	commonly used in mail and net news

JIS83 is used in official Japanese documents and also
in communicating with legacy machines.

The last type is de-fact standard in Internet society.
