It seems that this is a problem specific to
powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0.  On GNU/Linux with X Window
System, for instance, the following code works well;
i.e. clicking "Test" in menu bar shows "å ä ö Å" correctly
(in latin-1 language environment).

(define-key global-map [menu-bar test]
  (cons "Test" test-menu))
("Test" keymap "Test")
(define-key test-menu [test-insert]
  '(menu-item "å ä ö Å" (lambda () (interactive) (insert "å ä ö Å"))))
