Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem:

2008-09-24  Andreas Politz  <politza <at> fh-trier.de>  (tiny change)

            * term.el (term-emulate-terminal): Encode input string
            before
            checking its length.


Another thing, the original bug does not seem to be archived on
gmane.emacs.bug, just this reply...
