This temporary should not be destroyed too early, according to C++ standard
12.2.5: "The temporary to which the reference is bound <...> persists for the
lifetime of the reference except as specified below <exceptions don't seem to
apply to this case>." Does MSVC destroy it too early?

However, there is another problem in this snippet - a temporary object cannot
be bound to a non-const reference, so it should be:
    const String& result = String(buffer, count-1); // Ignore the null
terminator.
    delete[] buffer;
    return result;
