This still occurs in 1.2

For me, "corruption" was limited to just cutting off the string at the zws, for both versions.

I've ran this same test in irssi on the same machine; there were no indications of display corruption with irssi.

Just ran this test on OSX also; there is no missing digits in the timestamp, but there is still corruption elsewhere on the display - characters that are not cleared from the previous buffer etc.

Tested with WeeChat 0.41 and 0.4.3-dev (latest from master branch).

The unicode character "ZERO WIDTH SPACE" (utf-8 E2 80 8B) sometimes causes characters to be missing from the prefix of the following line.

To reproduce:
1. Install the shell.py script.
2. Create the following python file 'test.py':
---
#!/usr/local/bin/python

for i in range(30):
    print "%02d 01\xe2\x80\x8b23456789" % i
---
3. Join an empty channel, run /shell test.py a couple of times.
4. Scroll up and down the buffer, switch to different buffers and back again.

Notes:
- ctrl-L fixes the display
- Switching to an empty buffer and back again causes no corruption
- Not all buffers cause corruption when switched to
- Sometimes characters from the previous buffer remain on screen
- Tested using iTerm2 and PuTTY
- Tested on FreeBSD 9.2 with Tmux 1.8
