When I installed Gentoo on this system (and in keeping it up-to-date since), I've never done anything special about UTF-8, nor was it suggested by the install document, as I recall. This is the first time any package has complained about the state of the C library, etc.

Run 'emerge -NuDav world' and reopen if it still doesn't work after you've finished the above.

Running emerge -ev nano fixed this bug for me. The following packages were emerged by that command:

sys-libs/gpm-1.20.1-r5
sys-libs/ncurses-5.5-r3
virtual/libiconv-0
sys-devel/gettext-0.14.5
app-editors/nano-1.3.12-r1
