Please give some more information: an example (of a page with the FORM)
with URL; and the settings from Options (.lynxrc) and lynx.cfg that relate to
charsets; and which characters are wrong.

It may not be a bug, but you have to set up lynx correctly.
Try it with -raw (or the equivalent '@' key toggle), or with
-assume_charset=iso-8859-9 (you possibly also want
-assume_local_charset=iso-8859-9).
