$ emacs -Q #29.1
in the *scratch* buffer, do
(set-fill-column 98)^U^X^E
You will see in the minibuffer this nonsense:
99 (#o143, #x63, ?c)
But the nonsense only happens the first time you do it.

It's not "nonsense", it's the usual feature of eval-expression,
whereby it shows integer evaluation results in several formats.  See
the doc string of "C-x C-e" for how to control this display.

This is not a bug.
