actually that's the _comments_ which don't display.  I can fix that by
using a modeline setting to tell vile that the file is written in
iso-8859-x (8bit), but the commands are given in 7-bit ASCII...

It works because vile decides what to do with the code according to
the buffer in which it's inserted.  (The problem with mapping codes
outside the 0-255 range is different such as ş - I'm looking into that,
now).
