This is not a bug per se.
ftstring expects a UTF-8 string, while ftview interprets its
argument bytewise.

I agree that it isn't documented.  There are two choices:

  . Document this behaviour.

  . Make ftview behave as ftstring.

Patches, please :-)

ftview -m "16 бочек Würkner" shows garbage
ftstring -m "16 бочек Würkner" works great
