Could you please try this?

(1) Start emacs under gdb and set locale-coding-system to utf-8.
(2) Set breakpoint at this line (line 10612 of xterm.c):
                              decode_coding (&coding, copy_bufptr, p,
                                             nbytes, require);
    here--->>                 nbytes = coding.produced;
(3) Type `ä'.
(4) Check the byte sequence at copy_bufptr and p.

By the way, how do you type `ä'?  Does your keyboard has
that character?  Or do you use some combination of keys?
