I just received a note from RSI saying that the bug causing the
corruption of the string variable has nothing to do with STRMID, but
rather in the way that IDL allows one to store into a scalar string as
if it were an array. This bug has probably existed for many years,
but only reveals itself in unusual circumstances, which my STRMID
example happened to create. A fix has been checked in for V5.4.
