That is to be expected, because vim 6.0 is the first version that
supports UTF-8. Upgrade!

I use vim 6.0 frequently and I am highly satisfied with its UTF-8 support,
even though it is still in beta test. You activate it simply by selecting
a UTF-8 locale on a glibc 2.2 Linux system before starting the xterm in
which you fire up vi(m).
Note that the standard vi in Red Hat 7.1 unfortunately hasn't been
compiled with the multi-byte support on, but there is a
vim-enhanced-6.0-0.27 package that works fine. Similar for SuSE.
