Thanks for the thought, Russ - last night I've got some even more confusing information: when I came home to my Linux (:-) box, I was surprized to see that same version (358) of ``less'' displayed 8-bit characters correctly.
Did you check the section `NATIONAL CHARACTER SETS' in the less manpage?
Otherwise, my suggestion is (like the GNU project's) not to spend much effort in manpages (the current GPC manpage is rather short and basically just a pointer to the texi documentation), and possibly avoid 8-bit characters if this may cause problems for anyone.
