I can confirm the problem (on Linux, GTK2, enc=utf-8, vim 7.0.000).
Maybe I can get the offending characters to the list. The following
should be a no-op:
:s/.*/&
but it is not on the following line of voweled Hebrew:
הִלְכּוֹת
I notice other problems. For example, $ (in Normal mode) takes me to
the fifth character. (With 'ruler' set, I see 17-5 in the status line.)
Maybe there is a null byte in the fifth or sixth multi-byte character?
