I cannot understand how that would come to be. Can you (or somebody
else) give me a hint of why it goes wrong?

I have always uses emacs --unibyte, and everything here is iso8859-1
encoded. I suppose it would be a real PITA moving to utf-8.
Anyway, I solved my problem reimplementing the function in a less
elegant way (used substring searches instead of the assoc list). So,
what remains is just to get a real understanding of what went wrong.
I do not like to see (apparent) bugs going away by simple finesse, I
want to be able to really avoid them.
