Really, Andreas, you should try be friendlier with your responses some
day.  It's not a crime to not know something about the latest changes
to Emacs which turn upside down long established memories.

To everybody else who are not in the know: It's the multi-tty change
strikes again: it turns out set-locale-environment was modified to
_always_ set the keyboard encoding:

          ;; Set the `keyboard-coding-system' if appropriate (tty
          ;; only).  At least X and MS Windows can generate
          ;; multilingual input.
          ;; XXX This was disabled unless `window-system', but that
          ;; leads to buggy behaviour when a tty frame is opened
          ;; later.  Setting the keyboard coding system has no adverse
          ;; effect on X, so let's do it anyway. -- Lorentey
          (let ((kcs (or coding-system
                         (car (get-language-info language-name
                                                 'coding-system)))))
            (if kcs (set-keyboard-coding-system kcs frame)))

So now I'm quite convinced we should preload encoded-kb (unless we
undo this change).
