Because your executed Mutt follows your shell environment variable; so
you logout your shell and re-login.

I don't know, but look at your environment variable "LANG" or "LC_*"
(like LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, ...).  They are changed between logout and
login.  Is it different from your shell login/logout?

Hehe, I guess you don't have un*x/locale basic knowledge well, or you
don't test my example.  If so, do study before submitting bug report,
not to consume my time.  If you know well, then please provide
complete example and what your wish is.
