The %l just changes internal state, it doesn't contain anything
that gets displayed.  And I thought the problem was that the
%s from your mhshow-charset profile entry in was begin dropped,
botching the display string.

I had been testing without setting -noconcat.  -concat is the
default.  I just tried with -noconcat and get exactly the same
behavior.
