Hi Romain,
Did you read the help for nchar?
Value:
For ?nchar?, an integer vector giving the sizes of each element,
currently always ?2? for missing values (for ?NA?).
It may be unexpected behavior, but it's *well-documented* unexpected
behavior.

The help page says:
"For ‘nchar’, an integer vector giving the sizes of each
element, currently always ‘2’ for missing values (for
‘NA’)."
