I think the problem here is that json_decode has problems decoding strings with control characters.  I have experienced this problem with multiple control characters.

Agree with tom@ that the JSON spec does not permit control characters
See http://json.org/
Also try using a validator like http://www.jslint.com/

As clearly control characters are not allowed by the JSON spec, what exactly should happen here? IMO, it's working like it should now..
