A workaround: (until pine gets proper UTF-8 support[1]):

  Check (enable) "pass-control-characters-as-is" in the config screen.

BTW: maybe you'd like the following settings, if you have nidiv installed:

  display-filters=_CHARSET(UTF-8)_ /path/to/bidiv,
          _CHARSET(ISO-8859-8-i)_ /path/to/bidiv,
          _CHARSET(windows-1255)_ /path/to/bidiv

(from my .pinerc)

(Somebody in the end there claimed to propose a partial patch)
