I have some new findings on that, details below...

Yes, 3: one for the missing ü one for the missing ß and the one which
belongs there (between the two words).
But please note that the two spaces which are really the vanished
Umlauts are more like "holes" in the X display: When I move the cursor
on them, the cursor vanishes, too -- and when I jump in the buffer, so
that the vanished chars would be displayed in a place where an other
character was displayed before, this character stays, no space, but the
wrong character, with fontification, color and all, just as if the
missing characters left a hole, do redraw takes place where they would
be, the space isn't even cleared...
That said, here are my latest findings:
Thirst thing I did this morning was to try my one receipt, with no
success(sic!) -- thirst thought: a change in the nightly build fixed or
at least changed it.
So I started my Emacs without `-Q' and started to work, running gnus I
immediately noticed a missing Umlaut in one of the mails Subjects...
:-(
So I re tried my receipt with a fresh `emacs -Q' (running on a different
machine, but on the same X11 display) and what shall I say? It "worked"
again, the bug was back...
So It seems the problem might really be a strange X11 bug, which is
triggered by the new Emacs display code?
Any Ideas how to debug this?
(FWIW this is xorg 7.1.0-19 from Debian Etch)
