I use this locale:

$ locale
LANG=eo.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=eo:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="eo.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="eo.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="eo.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=


But if I do "export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8"
before starting Vim, then it works!

So something is broken with the eo.UTF-8 locale
somehow (using xubuntu-12.10).

But what is strange is that the bug only affects Vim.
Trying to paste diacritics in the shell works. It also
works fine with other text editors in the terminal. I tried
nano and emacs in terminal where it pasting worked
without problem even when using the eo.UTF-8 locale.
