bug#55727: 29.0.50; Incorrect zero symbol transcoding between applications

[Петров Андрей]

Hello, team!

Please check the following behavior:

1. Start two instances of emacs -Q.
2. Switch to the "*scratch*" buffer of the first one and type the following:
   M-: (insert (format "%S"  "000\000000")) [RET]
   You should see "000^@000" string.
3. Copy the string into clipboard and paste into the other instance of
   Emacs (which you have started before).
   I get "000\0000" instead of "000\000000"
4. Try evaluating inserted text ("000\0000")
   C-c C-e
   I get "000^@0" instead of "000^@000".

It seems that "^@" is transcoded between applications into "\0"
 instead of "\000". If I do the same test inside single instance
 of Emacs I get the correct result.
