Urgs, I really need to doublecheck my mails before sending.
I was testing and writing, so what I meant to say was:

- terminals started with "xterm -en eucjp"
- and "LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucjp luit" environments inside of utf8 
  xterm

lead to the same result.

[chris@hive ~]$ cat test_eucjp 
                               F|K\8l
                                     [chris@hive ~]$ 

That is again consistent over "xterm -en eucjp" and
"LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucjp luit" environments inside of utf8 xterm.

Lets look at the other ends of the thread..
