Yes, you are right; I was counting columns in emacs but didn't notice that it
was reporting the two-byte on-screen width of the null character representation.
After several previous failed attempts, I downloaded the VMWare workstation
10.0.3 update (from 10.0.2), and the problem has now disappeared! There's no
mention of any such issue in the release notes, of course...
Thanks,
Ben

By my count it has 1424 null bytes, and they are inserted immediately
after the 8192nd byte, which suggests that your shell is buggy and is
creating a here-document incorrectly due to some buffer confusion.
Could be your VM, I suppose.
