Looking through the changelogs, seems like the latest ATerm (1.0, released Jan 21) should detect UTF-8 in LC_LANG properly. The current ATerm package in breezy is 0.4.2.

Which aterm is this?

According to aterm.sourceforge.net, and 1.0.0 was released on 05 July 2005. I just built it and tested it under Ubuntu 5.10. It doesn't work right with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (e.g. doesn't handle sigle quotes generated by groff correctly, same as 0.4.2).

I see no indication in the changelog or the source code that aterm attempts to support UTF8.

aterm does not have utf-8 support AFAIK. Use rxvt-unicode instead.
