I've been using a full UTF-8 locale since 2005. I don't have any
problems with the thread indicators, and I don't recall having any
anytime recently.
On the other hand, if I start an xterm (by hand) in a non-UTF-8
locale, then change the locale to UTF-8 and run mutt, I get messed
up thread indicators. Selecting the "UTF-8" menu option Thomas pointed
out in this thread and hitting C-l fixes everything right up, though.
Could that be your problem?
btw, my locale(1) outputs:
daniel@alpaca$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.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=en_US.UTF-8
