Oops, it should have been [?ö] indeed.

No doubt about that. But I fixed this Emacs-19 bug ;-)

Hmm... it should have worked.

Have you tried putting a -*- coding: latin-1 -*- on the first line
to make sure that it is read with the proper coding system ?
The problem is that there are many different ö characters in Emacs
and it's important that Emacs read it as (make-char 'latin-iso8859-1 118)
(i.e. 2294) since it is the event generated by Emacs for the odiaeresis
key in an iso-8859-1 locale.
