Good.  That means VM is working fine, but some settings you have are
spoiling it.

No, it is the other way round.  "-q" blocks your .emacs file from
getting loaded.  So, the problem is likely to be with your .emacs
file.

These results are perfect.

That is just the entry point for vm-determine-proper-charset.  If you
hit 'c', it will show you the result.  You can keep hitting 'c' to see
all the calls that get made and the results returned.  One of these
calls is probably going to return nil.

*** Note that you need to do this with .emacs and .vm loaded, because
    that is where the problems are.

Once we know it returns nil, we will need to find out why it is doing
so.
