And I think that #488224 is not a FVWM bug, knowing the fact that
FVWM uses WM_NAME. According to

  http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#WM_NAME

  4.1.2.1. WM_NAME Property

  The WM_NAME property is an uninterpreted string that the client
  wants the window manager to display in association with the window
  (for example, in a window headline bar).

  The encoding used for this string (and all other uninterpreted
  string properties) is implied by the type of the property. The type
  atoms to be used for this purpose are described in section 2.7.1.

xprop says that the type STRING is used for WM_NAME, and

  http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-2.html#s-2.7.1

says:

  STRING as a type or a target specifies the ISO Latin-1 character set
  plus the control characters TAB (octal 11) and NEWLINE (octal 12).

The testcase provided in bug #488224 is based on "wish", and according
to xprop, "wish" does not follow this specification: under UTF-8
locales it uses the UTF-8 encoding instead of ISO latin 1.
