no, read again, adding the above locales DID fix the error.

and as it turned out, when i tried again at home also kinput DID work.

no need for any of that, as it turns out, all that is really necesary is
to set 
XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2"
and i guess the generated locales as well.
(i don't know what to delete to test 
if having the locales makes a difference)

nothing else.
kinput happily works with all my locale stuff set to C,
allowing me to keep english menues without having to move stuff around.

jless also works with C as locale and setting
JLESSCHARSET=japan-euc

so thanks for al the help, i can happily input japanese in vi now.

greetings, martin.
