Initial Comment:
I am using ru_RU.utf-8 locale.

minicom works fine until I am using "-R utf-8" option. The R key affects not only on a tty output but also on all minicom interface and I do not get cyrillic letters e.g. " 
" +: I18n" instead of "ПАРАМЕТРЫ: I18n".

I tried also run minicom with english interface and it looks proper. 

Tried on 2.7.1.

Now minicom seems well.

Message:
This is weird. This assertion should fail indifferently with my patch applied or not (look at minicom.c line 1151 where test_mbswidth() gets directly called by main()).

How does minicom behave if you comment out line 1151 and recompile?

Sorry, I am not too familiar with mercurial.

I cloned hg repo and applied your patch with
$ hg patch attachment.diff

But after make I tried to execute minicom and get:
minicom: minicom.c:1032: test_mbswidth: Assertion `mbswidth(e[i].s) == e[i]._mbswidth' failed.
