I tracked down the root cause of the issue and it was indeed related to 
locale/charmap.
I have 2 locales on my system (en_US.UTF-8 and nl_NL.UTF-8) but no system 
default and I had *no* "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" statement in my .bashrc.
This apparently resulted in a value of 'locale charmap' of ANSI_X3.4-1968.
Changing my .bashrc so that it does export that LANG definition resulted in a 
value of 'locale charmap' of UTF-8.
I could then also revert the patch you suggested and it still worked.

HTH,
