I believe libiconv is doing the dirty job of transcoding ISO-2022.
You provably need ICONV and S-LANG instead of NCOURSES enabled at
compile time.
I am using Mutt 1.5.9i and have no problems with ISO-2022 with the
following config.

:mutt -v

Compile options:
-DOMAIN

I use a utf-8 enabled terminal and kick mutt as follows:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 MM_CHARSET=UTF-8 mutt

We could better help you if you give us more info like version compile
options etc.

Hope this helps.
