in a quick check, I don't see that.  But since your program doesn't
call setlocale, I'm guessing that's part of what I'm missing:

a) what's your locale?
b) what terminal program?
c) what encoding is the terminal set to?
d) which (ncurses/ncursesw) library are you using?
e) if self-built (how?)
   if packaged (distribution, etc, to check package).

Offhand, that could be something overlooked in this set of changes,
but it's been a while:

20190817
        + amend 20181208 changes for wbkgd() and wbkgrnd(), fixing a few
          details where it still differed from SVr4.
20181208
        + modify wbkgd() and wbkgrnd() to improve compatibility with SVr4
          curses, changing the way the window rendition is updated when the
          background character is modified (report by Valery Ushakov).
