jackpot!!! Thanks for all your patient and support.
So...in the inspector of the source string... which should be a simple:

enclosingTag
^ OFXConstants buyDebt

In the inspect (top left) of 3_weird.... I noticed that the first $e (from
enclosingTag) is in position 1, the $n in 5, the $c in 9, the $l in 13 ...
so... +4 ... WideString related !!!

In fact, the size of the above method is 39 (in Pharo). 39 * 4 = 156. And
indeed, the size of the top left string is 156.
The int value of the elements in the middle, seem to be 0.

ok.... now I found it.....


((PackageInfo named: 'MyPackage') asRPackageSet methods select: [ :each |
each sourceCode isWideString]) size. -> 0
((PackageInfo named: 'MyPackage') asRPackageSet extensionMethods select: [
:each | each sourceCode isWideString]) size. -> 0
(((PackageInfo named: 'MyPackage') asRPackageSet classes select: [ :each |
each comment isWideString])) size -> 5

So yes, I have some class comments where I think the quote got weird. In
fact, in Pharo it shows the $?  instead of the quote.
What is funny is that I remember using normal quotes #'   ...

Now it loaded perfectly.

Thanks Dale.
