Looking closer, the characters > 158 decimal have char-width 4 in my
setup. 

Use this to print all the widths: 
(defun print-width ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((i 0))
    (while (< i 256)
      (insert (format "%d %d %c\n" i (char-width i) i) )
      (setq i (1+ i)))))

Anything with != 1 will confuse term.el if sent to the terminal as
such.

Not AFAIK.
