The problem isn't when storing into the char buffer, but later on a different machine or compiler when the char buffer has to be converted to a float type.
Another problem related to the above is that the NaN payload is implementation-defined, so even if the exact bit-pattern is preserved, programs compiled with different compilers may interpret the payload differently.
