Now Thomas says:

    some paths through the program will preserve the bytes you type in, some
    will check or otherwise process the data (and corrupt it).

So it is not a problem of interaction with ncurses, as you insisted before?

Moreover, I'm discussing *exactly the same* path through program: one
opens a google search page, and xterm-pastes an entry into the field.
If the entry was xterm-selected on "this" page, one gets one
behaviour; it was selected on another one, one gets another.

And to Henry: the page is shown without any problem when a different
display-charset is present in xterm and lynx.

Hope this helps,
Ilya
