There are even more bugs which are probably related to the same problem:

Bug 196447 - vi(1) misbehavior when encountered invalid Unicode character
Bug 203040 - Nvi truncates files with non-ASCII characters

It seems to be possible to get the data back in a number of cases, even after
having written a corrupted file to disk:

The issue as a whole seems to be quite involved, however:
