I didn't check in details but I suspect the curved labelling code 
doesn't take into account the possibility of multibyte characters and it 
ends up splitting pairs of bytes corresponding to multibyte chars into 
two label components.

I'd suggest that you file a bug with a small test case to reproduce 
(mapfile, small dataset and font file). Then one of the developers can 
look at it and fix the labelling code to handle that case properly.
