Some 2 updates here:
- The strlen() needs a replacement.
  It looks as if the following patch helps:
/* somewhere in diff.c */
static size_t screen_utf8_width(const char *start)
{
       const char *cp = start;
       size_t remain = strlen(start);
       size_t width = 0;
       while (remain) {
               int n = utf8_width(&cp, &remain);
               if (n < 0)
                       return strlen(start); /* not UTF-8 ? Use strlen() */
               width += n;
       }
       return width;
}

=====================================
Let's see if I can make a proper patch out of it.

The second problem, and I hoped it wasn't, seems to be related to what
you had digged out earlier.

That needs a second patch, probably after some more digging,
how unicode is rendedered on the different systems
