This problem is caused with Emacs >24.1, and fixed in
w3m-el-snapshot 1.4.483+0.20120614-1.

The Ubuntu w3m-el-snapshot package 1.4.442+0.20110729-1 in Ubuntu
12.04 is too old.  To upgrade Emacs-w3m, there is more than one way,
such as:

  * Official CVS repository
    http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/index-en.html#download

  * MELPA (Milkypostman's Emacs Lisp Package Archive)
    http://melpa.milkbox.net/

  * Ubuntu
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/w3m-el-snapshot
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/w3m-el-snapshot

  * Debian
    http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/w3m-el-snapshot.html
    http://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/w3m-el-snapshot

BTW, there isn't an official Ubuntu emacs24 package in Ubuntu
12.04.  Downgrading Emacs to the emacs23 package may prevent this
problem.
