Okay, then w3m is failing for the same reason that netscape and mozilla
are failing: my resolver refuses to resolve names with non-LDH labels,
even if I put "options no-check-names" in /etc/resolv.conf.

Same story. My resolver refuses to return the address.
Curiously, my three browsers apparently try to do three different
lookups. All three display the Shift-JIS text correctly, but for the
first link, netscape 4.x does a lookup on епо©╫Й.nu, mozilla does a
lookup on %e7%99%bb%e9%8c%b2%e6%89%80.nu, and w3m does a lookup on
%93o%98^%8F%8A.nu. I haven't checked, but I'm guessing that netscape
4.x converts the host name to euc-jp, mozilla converts it to UTF-8 and
then %-escapes it, and w3m leaves it as shift_jis but then %-escapes it.
