Thank you for fixing it so quickly.

I realized the problem is irrelevant to non-ASCII text.  The
cause is simply that the prompt string, the first argument,
given to `read-from-minibuffer' has the `read-only' property.
For instance, the following form causes the same error:

(read-from-minibuffer (propertize "Prompt: " 'read-only t))

I guess `r-f-m' has a need to add some text property to the
prompt string.  It might just be `read-only'.
