Included in the "what version of Vim", it would be helpful not
only to have the version number ("7.2.123"), but how you're
running it and the platform: Win32 vs. Linux/Mac/BSD, gvim vs.
console vim.
Also, when you say that the final file has the weird characters,
is it *all* the spaces, or just the ones added with "."? It
might also be helpful to epeat your experiment of "aa b c<esc>."
then pipe your contents through xxd to see what gets written where:
:%! xxd
which should change your buffer contents to something like
0000000: 6120 6220 6361 ac62 ac63 0a a b ca.b.c.
or
0000000: 61ac 62ac 6361 ac62 ac63 0a a.b.ca.b.c.
I agree with Ben that this is highly non-standard behavior.
