It could be the lack of the initializers for Japanese charsets in
LYCharSet_UC[MAXCHARSETS], but that's just a guess.  Maybe one of the
bit flags gets set differently, I don't see which though. I haven't yet
compiled the new code after the changes.

That page has 

     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
     content="text/html; charset=x-sjis">

The charset name is bogus.  (Why do people prefix things with "x-" if
there's a registered name anyway?)  Recognize by Lynx are "shift_jis"
and "x-shift-jis".

Of course that doesn't explain the difference.
I think Henry didn't tell us what Display character set he is using,
and -assume_charset if any.  (If he did - sorry, missed it).
