Try running Emacs with "emacs -q --no-site-file". If that solves the
problems you have, there's something in your .emacs or in the site-wide
startup files which does the damage.

There's probably more customizations in your .emacs that produce the
adverse effect. Something that makes your sessions unibyte, perhaps?
