This's always been a great list.  I can't really offer much help on
your specific problem other than to tell you what's working here and
how, and offering suggestions.  This's Debian "testing"/wheezy, so
should be roughly equivalent (upstream) to your Ubuntu (I think):

I'm impressed, but I have to say I've never had any need to "roll my
own" mutt.  I doubt that Ubuntu/Canonical have done anything wrong in
their build.

That's a typo?

(0) infidel /home/keeling_ cat /etc/default/locale
#  File generated by update-locale

True here as well.

So, now I'm down to just offering sugestions:

     i) Try other terminal emulators.  I use "uxterm" with mutt.  Some
        terminal emulators just don't do utf-8.

    ii) Can you use emacs?  It has no problems with utf-8 (though I
        doubt vim does either).

              set editor="/usr/bin/emacs '%s'"

   iii) Re-describe the problem in your eyes now that you've expended
        all this effort learning about it?

Have fun.  :-)  Bon chance.
