I've just moved my web site from one server to another at the same
hosting company (I upgraded to a better package). Unfortunately one of
my WordPress plugins now complains about the absence of multibyte string
support in PHP on the new server.

What I don't understand is that phpinfo on that server

http://www.middns1.co.uk/~westdorseuk/phpinfo.php

shows the three important configuration settings were enabled, viz.

'--enable-mbstring=shared' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex'

However, I think there should also be be a separate section in the
phpinfo page relating specifically to the multibyte strings module, as
for instance on

http://www.ozpolitics.info/phpinfo.php

I'm guessing there must be some runtime settings that need to be used,
perhaps in php.ini. Any ideas?

I can't see anything here: http://uk.php.net/mbstring

but I'm not that familiar with PHP.
