If you eval (read-key-sequence "Foo ") and then type that key,
what do you get?

    Example: a buffer with two words `faa' and `foo'. Press `f' and
    `ñ'. `faa' appears. Press `ñ' again. Emacs beeps and shows the above
    mentioned message.

Can you try debugging what expand-abbrev does in this case?
