From my early tests it works fine loading and saving embedded NUL bytes, but I expect many features not to work properly (although e.g. regex search seems happy, yet displaying results not so much). It however should help getting to a point where these could be handled properly, and is handy also for slightly broken files and alike.
Anyway for now such files are loaded read-only and display a warning to the user to avoid most problems.

Related to (and should fix for the most part) #618 and #1708 (and possibly others).
