It's the same problem as my \lambda: Emacs's idea of the size on screen is
not the same as what the terminal actually does.  In my case, Emacs thinks
the \lambda, being a single char, will take just one column, but it
takes two.  In your case, it's the opposite: Emacs doesn't know that the
two-char sequence ä will actually be combined by the terminal emulator into
a single glyph.

Emacs needs to learn more about combining characters before it can
handle such things correctly.
