Yes, it does. Actual culprits are functions from XMonad.Util.Font decodeInput 
and encodeInput they are encoding string as UTF8 and them GHC encode it second 
time.

I think that right fix is to use preprocessor do define them differently for 
GHC<=6.10 and GHC>=6.12. A bit ugly but should work for everyone.
