That's what I've guessed.

- where does that happen (pager, index, everywhere)?

Definitely in the pager and the index.

Okay, since it's pager and index, it must be some header. The only thing relevant to encoding/internationalization issues between 1.5.17 and 1.5.18 is that X-Label headers now have to be RfC2047-encoded. Could that be the reason?

- does it happen in all types of folders, e.g. does running without a header cache work?

It's in both mbox mail boxes (e.g. also with Content-Type:
text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"); and in news articles (via noffle)

Okay, the hcache isn't used for mbox folders...

- do you use tarballs or track hg sources (for the latter, bisect may more or less quickly point out the bad commit)?

The tarball; nntp from VVV's, compressed folders patch from RR's site.

If it's not X-Label-related, you should give an unpatched to 1.5.18 a try to make sure it's not bad interaction with any of these patches.
