I also see that; any pasting of cyrillic text via pasting X's
primary or from the clipboard.  The wide cyrillic is from the
japanese-jisx0208 charset.  Eg, Cyrillic Ñ‚ gets buffer code
0x92 0xA7 0xE4 when pasted, but 0x8C 0xE2 and charset
cyrillic-iso8859-5 when typed directly, or inserted from a utf-8
encoded file.  In both cases, (describe-char) shows the same value
one the Unicode: line, eg 0442 for Ñ‚.

The next line is typed directly:

        тхис ис а тест

This line is pasted: (this probably won't be visible after I send)

        à‘‚à‘…à¸à‘ à¸à‘ à° à‘‚àµà‘à‘‚

The first issue is to get emacs to prefer 8859-5 over jisx0208 when
pasting cyrillic utf8.  The next is getting the cyrillic in jisx0208
to properly convert to utf8.

I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d
scroll bars) of 2003-03-06 in en_US.UTF-8.
