Well, although it isn't a lot of help for you, I would say that it
isn't really Pan as such that causes this problem, but rather a Gnome
"rule" in combination with a bug in a library used by Pan.

Worst case, since you already built Pan from source, you could try
changing those non-ascii colons in pan/general/e-util.cc to proper
ascii ones and rebuild.
