Looks like it relates to some code that transmits
this value over network and displays it in emacs.

I remember that I saw something similar in clisp
untill I set configured encodings in the both lisp
and emacs sides of slime, but I'm not sure exactly.

Lets investigate it.

Try this:
(progn (setq ch (code-char 256) nil)

Will it die? I suppose it will not, and you will
be able to execute (char-chode ch).
