R devel - Sep 2015 - Printing buglet for latin1 encoded strings

x <- c("ao?t", "?l?ve", "?a va")
y <- iconv(x, "UTF-8", "latin1")

x
#> [1] "ao?t"  "?l?ve" "?a va"
y
#> [1] "ao?t"        "?l?ve"       "?a va"

(note the difference in spacing)

On both R-release (mac) and R-devel (linux).  nchar() and format() both look ok.
