A bit unclear to me whether the code really did what was intended with
earlier VS versions either.

VS2013 said: error C2664: 'rtl::OUString::OUString(const sal_uInt32
*,sal_Int32)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'const char *' to
'const rtl::OUString &'

Reason: cannot convert from 'const char *' to 'const rtl::OUString'

No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload
resolution was ambiguous
