The root of the problem is that in non-UTF-8 mode, the \x9f character
eats an arbitrarily large sequence of non-control characters that follow it.

Is this a special xterm feature? "whois sensors.de" works much better
with -k8. Would you suggest to make -k8 the default?

I added it for the people using Cyrillic encodings, since those aren't
ISO-8859-1, and actually have printable characters in the 128-159 range.
