By chance i've found a simple work-around for this bug (because i noticed that a client on MacOS X were not affected) which only requires a small change on the connecting client:
Change your settings so that not only LANG but also LC_ALL is set. LC_ALL will be sent to the server and is normally not overwritten by pam_env (only LANG) but overrides LANG. This is not a fix for the bug but it certainly helps in the transition from <whatever> to utf-8.
