That's probably because instead of adapting the existing unit code to 
deal with the fact that the compiler now defined FPC_OS_UNICODE instead 
of UNICODE, someone quickly added the above code instead. It's 
definitely not the right way to go about things, and will completely 
break down completely if those units were compiled with {$modeswitch 
unicodestrings} since then UNICODE will be defined as well.
