(Even though the problem is solved, it's an interesting discussion so
I'll continue this subthread)

Wouldn't that also make the text on the screen to break as soon as the
cursor is above any of the "troublesome" chars?

A way of testing this might be to use the abbrevations for basic
commands. Assuming this problem also affect commands and not only
variable contents, ? should produce PRINT while PRINT should produce
PRANT (or some similar error).
