If in 2.6.2 your three strings contain text of different encodings then the
resulting string might be garbage from the user's POV.
In trunk the encoding is part of each string and if they differ then each
strings will be converted to the default string encoding (defined by a
global variable inside unit System) and thus the string might still be
valid.
