Well, I managed to make it work, I needed to add: 

  (set-buffer-multibyte t) 
to `term-mode'

and change the (insert (substring str i funny)) call in
`term-emulate-terminal' to: 

(insert (string-as-unibyte (substring str i funny)))

This works with both:

EMACS_UNIBYTE=1 emacs
EMACS_UNIBYTE=0 emacs

One way to test it is to run lynx www.emacswiki.org in the term.el
terminal and check that the language names are printed correctly.

I don't know if the above changes are strictly correct, so I'd
appreciate is somebody could confirm it. 

Thanks.
