Digraphs stopped working with vim 7.3

I excitedly upgraded vim to the new vim 7.3 (persistent undo is the big feature). To my dismay all the fancy digraphs I've been using to display math characters stopped working. And when I issued:
:digraphs
I only saw a handful of characters (maybe just ASCII), certainly no interesting unicode characters.
Luckily the fix was easy. I just needed to enable the "multi-byte" feature. To do this, in the vim project directory I issued:
./configure --enable-multibyte
make
sudo make install
