IMHO in Babel you should have \def\{CYRV{\char "082}, and \DeclareInputText as above. If you use ^^82 this will be expanded as an active character again and again. Use the ^^xx notation only for input encodings, and never for output encodings! But this is the wrong list for such bug reports. You should address it to [log in to unmask] .
