With address@hidden, LANG=de_DE, LANG=en_US, LANG=C, LANG=POSIX, 
LANG="" does no difference.  mtn is stopping the log always at any position.

Found a workarround, this runs on non utf-8 terminal:
  LANG=de_DE.utf8 mtn --no-graph log > monotone.log

Have SuSE Linux 9.0 (i586)

# iconv --version | head -n1
iconv (GNU libc) 2.3.2

# locale | head -n1
address@hidden

# mtn --no-graph log > /dev/null
