Probably because the macroned letters are not in the initial (zero'th) set of 256 Unicode letters and thus cause the message to be sent as one of the Unicode variants and not as plain ascii, e.g. a-macron is Unicode 0101, o-macron is  014D (hexadecimal), but plain a is 0061. Separate macron as a combining character is Unicode 035E.
