Trouble with international chars in bash (yes I set up .inputrc)

Hi.
I'm having trouble displaying international charecters in bash. I'm
using the latest cygwin (1.3.14-1), on Windows XP Pro, with latest MS
updates applied.
I've setup my .inputrc as the faq said:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
But bash still doesn't display international characters properly.
Instead it apparently displays the char's scancode. For intance, when I
press "ē", I get "\347" on the bash prompt.
Curiously, other programs seem to work fine: I can use international
chars on 'vi' with no problem. If I then set the LESSCHARSET env. var to
latin1, I can see (using 'less') the resulting file with no problems as
well. Using 'cat' on that file, however, displays garbage characters.
If I remove the .inputrc file, bash just beeps at my attempts to use
accented/international chars, as normal, so the options are doing
something, just not what was expected :)
Has anyone else has seen/fixed this problem ?
