Japanese characters don't display correctly in screen's ``caption'' if
using ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.

I tried Portuguese UTF-8 characters and they seem to work fine, as well
as Japanese EUC-JP characters.  The problem is specific with
ja_JP.UTF-8.

<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18505> describes a similar
problem and links back to this Debian bug.  Perhaps this one
could be considered forwarded there.

Way to test:
[~]$ printf '\e]0;%s\e\\' "abc ó ą ⭍ 💩"

Retitling for the sake of people about to report dupes of this bug.
