Package: tmux
Version: 2.3-4
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
Starting with Debian 9, tmux (2.3-4) always sets the iutf8 flag,
rendering it unusable in non-ASCII (i. e. 8 bit) non-Unicode locales
like ru_RU.KOI8-R.
The problem is easy to reproduce using a ru_RU.KOI8-R environment or,
alternatively, by running koi8rxterm which already has all the necessary
environment set.
Before running tmux:
$ locale charmap
KOI8-R
$ stty
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
-brkint -imaxbel
After running tmux from the same shell:
$ locale charmap
KOI8-R
$ stty
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
-brkint -imaxbel iutf8
So the terminal settings are changed while the locale settings are not,
and obviously KOI8-R and iutf8 don't play well together (all 8-bit
output is stripped, being never echoed).
Screenshots are available upon request.
tmux 1.9 in Debian 8 (as well as previous versions) was never affected.
Neither is GNU screen (have to switch back to screen until this issue is
fixed).

Yes, this is by design and it is not a bug, tmux only supports UTF-8 now.
Closing.
