I don't think so. See this comment again: ;; If default-enable-multibyte-characters is nil, ;; we are using single-byte characters, ;; so the display table and terminal coding system are irrelevant. Where is that comment? (when default-enable-multibyte-characters (set-display-table-and-terminal-coding-system language-name)) It seesm that the intention is to use the display table for multibyte buffers. It is definitely intended to use the display table for multibyte buffers--but I think that's not actually the issue you are talking about. Anyway, I don't think this actually contradicts anything I said. The display table is used for unibyte buffers, too. If we want unibyte buffers to display the international graphics, we have to set up the display table for codes 128-255.
