It's fixed in r36498 by Nikolay. It was a bug in the widestring-handling 
which was already there, but was hidden and got exposed by a recent 
change in the codepage-handling.

As a result #0-characters were added to fpc's output. Lazarus' parser 
got confused by that. (It uses pchar's, which considered the #0 
characters the end of a line)
