Hahah, i just worked out why this is passing, and why that is correct behaviour.
You have an octal escape in:
eval('"use strict"; "\101";');

The escape is parsed in the context of the function containing eval, so eval sees
"use strict"; "A";

as its input.

The test should be
eval('"use strict"; "\\101";');

Which throws a syntax error as expected.

Thanks for these bug reports by the way :D
