My locale is set to LC_CTYPE=it_IT (local codec is ISO 8859-15).

Gitk shows correctly pre-image lines, but not post-image. BTW it's 
the same output I have with

      git-diff-tree -p e6bd23911efd0a2bd756c77d9e7ba6576eb739a1

run from KDE Konsole.

So I think the local encoding (LC_CTYPE) has a role in the story.
