Yes, ::insert don't dereference the final end iterator, but it does use
the one before that. So lets take a OUString str of "a", its getLength()
is 1, so the final end iterator is now str.getStr()+2. i.e. dereference
+0 for 'a' and +1 for '\0' and stop and not dereference +2, so input str
has to actually be ['a', '\0']. Which is where I was going with my
question to make sure that's the case.

The original problem to be fixed is a lack of a zero terminator in the
*output* blob, its just an issue of copying it from the original string
or adding a new one, just making sure that if we go with copying it from
the original string, that the original string has one ;-)
