All i ever needed to do to get it to display correctly in urxvt was the
already mentioned 'set charset="utf8"' in .muttrc. The only locale I
have set to en_US.UTF-8 is LC_CTYPE.
With utf-8 ncurses mutt gets _much_ better utf-8 support, so you might
try that, although it worked fine here even before I recompiled ncurses.
Now it also displays kanji for the japanese spam I get ;)
