It seems that it has problems on detecting that it is in UTF-8 mode. I
tried setting:
LANG=C@utf-8 (valid, existing)
LC_CTYPE=C@utf-8 (valid, existing, for whiptail-utf8)
LC_MESAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 (just a string, parsed and used by modconf)
Well, modconf part seems to work, and all non-ascii string appear as two
characters, but as two Question marks!

It is only needed as LC_MESSAGES to enable usage of utf8-converted
string files. If whiptail-utf8 also needs the value (though it should
NOT depend on it), this may cause our trouble.

Exactly.

It is bad in German too. In menus, rests of lines are cutted away after
a non-ascii char.

Of course, already fixed.
