I think that the shell was unhappy with the unset's.  Of course I noticed
that, which is why I ran "locale" to see what it would say.  However, my
problem getting date to show Cyrillic is not related to the bug reported.

The dotted squares sound like missing glyphs.  I'll try your output
string to see how it looks for me (thanks).

It should.  I looked as far last night to see that xterm is storing the
data as expected, and making calls to Xft to display.  I'll look further
tonight to see what I can.  xterm's select/paste is done on the data that
xterm stores rather than on what Xft may display.
