:)i get your I/M effect with 2-8-1pre.2 ,
:)but what's puzzling me is that the source contains much opaque lettering,

I got the I/M effect also with Lynx Version 2.8.1rel.2. I downloaded the
file and saw a bunch of strange characters that I could not understand.
The only time that I got the same output (no I/M effect or other change),
was when I switched in the options menu to

 Character Set Options
  Assumed document character set   : [iso-8859-1______]  
  Display character set            : [Cyrillic (windows-1251)________]
  Raw 8-bit                        : [OFF] <-- ON or OFF is the same
