Those don't fail, but:

UFFI-TESTS> (let ((native-string "test string"))
      (uffi:with-foreign-string (fs native-string)
        (ensure-char-character
         (deref-pointer fs :char))))
#\t
UFFI-TESTS> (let ((native-string "test string"))
      (uffi:with-foreign-string (fs native-string)
        (deref-pointer fs :char)))
116

The latter would return #\t in uffi-compat.

Does that mean these tests fail for you?
