Yes.
I found the reason why yahoo-j trasport works wrong.

Formerly, WinJab and JIM have sent messages using SHIFT-JIS encoding
on Windows 2000 Japanese version. So, we were able to speak to
Yahoo! Japan clients.
But latest clients send messages using UTF-8 encoding.
Now we must convert SHIFT-JIS and UTF-8 in yahoo-j transport.

If you can understand Japanese, please see http://jabber.jp/
(Japanese only yet, sorry)

I put a quick-hacked patch at
http://jabber.jp/yahoo-transport-jp/yahoo-transport-jp-0.8.1-1.4.patch
I hope it is userful.

This patch is for yahoo-transport-0.8.1-1.4.
The essential point is following:

diff -rc yahoo-transport-jp-0.8.1-1.4/src/yahoolib.c yahoo-transport-0.8.1-1.4/src/yahoolib.c
