[Nio] assigning to a string/char NetCDF variable does not work

Hi everyone,

I just noticed I don't manage to assign a string value to a non-scalar
string/char-typed variable in a NetCDF file using Nio. I could not find
any documentation on assignment of string values to NetCDF variables on
the Nio webpages but I am relatively sure that it has already worked
some time ago. (I can't be absolutely certain about that, though).
Assigning a string of len 1 to a scalar char variable works as expected
in straight-forward notation.
I attached a small script that reproduces the problem on our system
(Debian GNU/Linux stable). We're using Nio 1.4.0, which is the newest
version as far as I can tell.
I have tried a few alternative ways I thought might work (see commented
lines) without any luck. Does anyone have an idea how it could work or
if this is a bug in Nio?

Regards,
Michael
