OK, so this appears to have been caused by the change:
"modify lins_chars() to handle a case where a script inserts a UTF-8
character (report by Thomas Dupond)."
lins_chars is being invoked with wide=0, and is working for codepoints >=
256 (which is why ę works, and £ does not).
I've pushed a rollback of that change to Debian as 0d1f060a. Relevant
patch attached.
