The code of Exim, I'm afraid (and as you know well), makes the
assumption that it is handling C strings (i.e. zero terminated). This
was, with hindsight, probably a mistake. However, it would be a major,
major re-design to change it, and I do not think that now is the right
time.
Exim already converts incoming binary zeros in header lines to '?'. I
think I should make it do the same for encoded zeros. (Binary zeros in
the body are unaltered.)
