It has hit the list but the C18 experts have not seen it. ;-)

Maybe Microchip Forum is another place to post the questions.
I am quite new to C18 but it seems that the code is not
the same as what I see in the examples.

I tried to use the simulator but I have yet to learn how to
use the simulator effectively yet. From the simulator run,
it seems that you have an overrun error here 
(USART_Status.OVERRUN_ERROR = 1) with the helloworld line.

When you uncomment the helloworld line, you do not have
have that error.

I remember there is a thread  related to this problem 
in the C18 forum. You may want to check it out.

Xiaofan
