I don't use w3m so I cannot attest to the problem, however there was a
post on the gnu.emacs.help group just today which pointed out this page
on the emacs wiki, which you might find helpful:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/w3m
I use Bitstream fonts for everything (Vera Sans Mono for the default),
so it is possible that I would not see the issues raised with some of
the fonts used in the post you referred to.
I use 23 with ECB, PSVN and ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) for R
(http://www.r-project.org/) and it has been rock solid for me. About the
only thing that I had to do somewhat differently is to use the updated
pre-release CEDET tools and the ECB snap-shot release for 23.
