I found the problem.  It is a bug introduced in w3m-0.5.2 when the 
attempt was apparently made to fix another problem.  The workaround 
is to set

   vi_prec_num 1

in your ~/.w3m/config, either directly or via the Option Setting 
Panel, in the Miscellaneous Settings section:

   Enable vi-like numeric prefix                     (*)YES  ( )NO

I have submitted a bug report to the w3m developers.
