Thanks, but see also the rest of my email about cd/chdir and the
note about inconsistent error message.

More generally, it may be a good idea to review all the cases
where $'\0' would not be acceptable.

And also those where $'\0' would be acceptable. Found another
one:

$ strftime $'%Y\0%m\0%d' 0 | sed -n l
1970\203 01\203 01$
