Well, technically the @cjknarrow modifier IS part of the codeset.

It must be that one of your startup scripts is changing the locale environment 
variables, where --login pulls in a different set of startup scripts than 
regular shells.  Check the values of LANG, LC_ALL, and friends between your two 
shells.  And use 'bash -vx --login' to spot where it was changed.
