[...] will create a hex(1) entry, that's not a bug
Ok. However, if hex(1): is acceptable in the registry, then regedit must cope with it. In wine-0.9.61, I still observed garbage characters IIRC for such values, as explained in my original post. And I observed the following in 0.9.61: Exporting these keys to a file resulted in garbage output. More precisely, the value from a previously (correct) key-value line is emitted again (e.g. the value from the previous line of output duplicated, if it was a string).
Still, I'd expect empty strings to be written as "", not as hex(1):, because that's what I see in registry files from MS-Windows.
