In this case the offending descriptor is solid 0xFF, so replacing
individual characters wouldn't accomplish anything.  I can imagine a
different buggy expander that has just one or two bad characters.  In that
case, it would make sense to replace them.  But replace them with what?
The UTF replacement character 0xFFFD isn't an option, because the result is
supposed to be ASCII.  There's no other obvious choice, which is why I
chose to replace the whole thing.
