I think removing 0x is a good think. 
You must count that tds_convert should work for ctlib/dblib/odbc.
query analizer use odbc and also, are you sure that 0x is not prepended
by query analizer. PHP for example calc len for resulting buffer with
maxlength*2+1 (it use ctlib) meaning that it don't want 0x at all...

However, good spot! I'll do a test with odbc to check this behaviour.
