In 0.99-19, it will insert the first byte.  In 0.99-18, it will insert
the byte value as a wide character.  That is, the 0.99-18
quoted-insert function has a bug that was fixed in 0.99-19.  If
possible, try using 0.99-19 to see if its quoted-insert function
behaves more along the lines of what you expect.

Emacs-mode binds the ^Q key to the quoted-insert function.  Do you
have a spare control-key that you could bind to the quoted-insert
function?
