No, these tests returned the same results with and without my patch.

Just a guess:  The sizeof tests are using numerical constants.  The
charset tests are using character strings.  The evaluation is subtly
different in that the evaluation of character strings require the
target being active.  There's a part of interaction not required for
the tests used in sizeof.exp.
