Remember that you can control the line length for hex output.
Try
        snmpwalk --hexOutputLength=1024 .....

Hmmm....   what is the exact type/value being returned by this
request?    (A raw packet dump or -Ddump output might be useful).

Trying this with a string-valued object seems to work as expected:

    $ snmpset -v 2c -c RWcommunity  localhost sysContact.0 s ""
    SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
    $ snmpget -v 2c -c ROcommunity localhost sysContact.0
    SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
