Details:

another user pasted something containing tabs into, the complete message as
shown in raw log: 
:address@hidden/supporter/student/cacert.assurer.deki PRIVMSG #nethack.de
:95�9 �9static const char explodes[] = "radiates explosive energy"; /* EN
static const char explodes[] = "radiates explosive energy"; */ // TODO DE 
95�9static const char explodes[] = "radiates explosive energy";

showed up as:
 
"95u statici const char explode....."

the buffer gets fixed once ctrl-l is pressed.

another weechat user even saw the "i" changing to "h" sometimes when new
lines appear in the channel, so the tab completely confused weechat

Proposed solution: simply replace tabs with a configurable amount of spaces?
