I can reproduce this on GNU nano 2.2.6 in Debian unstable/sid/wheezy

Benno, thank you for reporting this with such a clear description
of the problem!

I'm curious if you happen to be a C programmer, and/or if you are
familiar with applying patches. It'd be great if you could read through
and test a patch if I manage to come up with one.
