I think you just didn't wait long enough -- it did display for me
eventually (with XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) "Common Lisp").

The reason is that the XEmacs version of `find-charset-string' (written
in Lisp) is incredible slower than the Emacs version (in C).  

I've changed the code to use `find-charset-region' instead, which should
be more efficient in XEmacs.
