I recommend making the output of standard-display-by-replacement-char
use 

  (let ((tbl (or standard-display-table
                 (setq standard-display-table (make-display-table)))))

to avoid an error.

Perhaps with the current sources standard-display-table is never nil.
But once I added this generated code to my .emacs file, it ran also on
April's build, and got an error here.

I recommend generating a comment at the start of the output:

  ;; This code was output by standard-display-by-replacement-char.

or perhaps showing a sexp to call it with the specific args that were
used to generate this output.
