Serial console is a very important use case -- I just checked the serial console on a server that I admin and it didn't appear to be able to use pasted Japanese characters at all. For example, pasting in にほん results in: ;'c+cls 'c appearing on the command line. TERM is vt100 and the serial console is a Cyclades TS2000, if that makes a difference. Rich. PS. VC 4404 was the first dumb terminal I used, connected to a Convex 1 supercomputer running some derivative of BSD.
