This's always been a great list. I can't really offer much help on
your specific problem other than to tell you what's working here and
how, and offering suggestions. This's Debian "testing"/wheezy, so
should be roughly equivalent (upstream) to your Ubuntu (I think):

That's a typo?

True here as well.
So, now I'm down to just offering sugestions:
i) Try other terminal emulators. I use "uxterm" with mutt. Some
terminal emulators just don't do utf-8.
ii) Can you use emacs? It has no problems with utf-8 (though I
doubt vim does either).
set editor="/usr/bin/emacs '%s'"
iii) Re-describe the problem in your eyes now that you've expended
all this effort learning about it?
Have fun. :-) Bon chance.
