I couldn't ever reproduce it as such - it just happened occasionally.
I'm no longer sure (it was six years ago, after all) if it's the same issue,
but in the meantime I've found that enabling 'meta as-is' causes display
corruption if the file contains 'weird' non-printable characters. While this
is arguably a feature (after all, I asked for those characters to be
displayed), the problem is that this seems to be the only way to see
accented international characters too.
So fixing this would involve displaying printable characters but suppressing
(or escaping) nonprintable ones, like vim does.
