I suspect that's what's actually going on here is that tmux and/or some
underlying library is encoding-blind but is written assuming that
octet==character.  That UTF-8 "works" is an artifact of how multiple
octets making up a single character, printed to the pty together, get
sent to the underlying display together.  But then the display's cursor
is not where the code thinks it is, which leads to..problems.

This is speculation, but I think it's reasonable speculation. :)
