I tested this page and found a problem with Lynx 2.8.3.rel1.

Environment:
    Terminal    80x24
    User Mode   Advanced
    Screen      ncurses4.2

What I did:
    1. Open http://www.jp.debian.org/
    2. Press Space to show next page.
    3. Found these three lines were displayed in a wrong way.
        address@hidden(B
        $B%a!<%j%s%0%j%9%H%"!<%+%$%V(B 
        $B%a!<%j%s%0%j%9%H$N9XFI(B

I think this problem is same as yours though the lines which have a
problem are different.  I think pressing ^L make the problem lines to
be displayed in a correct way.

Probably this problem is same as what Mr. Asada reported on 18 May.
And it seems to be improved by this change in dev.4.

By the way, does this mean Debian JP users have used Lynx with problem
in showing Japanese over an half year? uum...

P.S.
The results with other environments:
    - with a regular Slang lib
        Have problem same as ncurses4.2

    - with a Slang lib compiled with SLANG_HAS_KANJI_SUPPORT
        No problem
