bug#14368: 24.3.50; Big screw: multibyte characters become unibyte

[Richard Stallman]

I did some debugging and found that the mistaken
replacement of multibyte characters with unibyte
occurs in quail-start-translation.

However, the bug is probably not in quail.el, because quail.el has not
changed since the start of the year, and the last change log entry was
long before that.

Can someone who understands quail please investigate this bug?
