I can confirm the bug as well as the fact that Wheezy is not affected.

Steps I took to reproduce:

* Install aterm (guaranteed to have no UTF-8 support ;-)
* "dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales" and add some ISO 8859-15 locales.
* Call "env LANG=en_GB.iso885915 LC_ALL=en_GB.iso885915 aterm"
* Call "man LWP" and "perldoc LWP" in the aterm.

There is indeed the reported difference.
