bug#3710: 23.1.50; Emacs.app cannot enter directory "_geprüft"

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I have a directory "_geprüft" (with the text cursor on the ü C-u C-x  
= tells me in Emacs.app:

                character: ü (252, #o374, #xfc)
        preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
               code point: 0xFC
                   syntax: w    which means: word
                 category: .:Base, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, l:Latin
              buffer code: #xC3 #xBC
                file code: #xC3 #xBC (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
                  display: by this font (glyph code)
	    nil:-apple-Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono-medium-normal-normal-*-11-*- 
*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x81)
        
        Character code properties: customize what to show
          name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
          old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U DIAERESIS
          general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
          decomposition: (117 776) ('u' '')
        
        There are text properties here:
          dired-filename       t
          face                 dired-directory
          fontified            t
          help-echo            "mouse-2: visit this file in other window"
          mouse-face           highlight

which looks OK but does not resemble much what the X client sees:

                character: u (117, #o165, #x75)
        preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
               code point: 0x75
                   syntax: w    which means: word
                 category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
              buffer code: #x75
                file code: #x75 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
                  display: composed to form "ü" (see below)
        
        Composed with the following character(s) "" using this font:
          x:-mutt-clearlyu-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-123-iso10646-1
        by these glyphs:
          [0 1 117 117 8 1 8 7 0 nil]
          [0 1 776 776 0 0 5 14 -12 [-6 3 0]]
        
        Character code properties: customize what to show
          name: LATIN SMALL LETTER U
          general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
        
        There are text properties here:
          dired-filename       t
          face                 dired-directory
          fontified            t
          help-echo            "mouse-2: visit this file in other window"
          mouse-face           highlight).

When I try to follow into this directory in dired-mode or when I try  
to open /path/to/_geprüft Emacs.app tells me

	dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type `g' to update  
dired buffer

or

	insert-directory: Reading directory: no such file or directory, / 
path/to/_geprüft

Both variants were launched with -Q. Emacs.app needed an extra '-- 
font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"' because it was telling me

        Font `LucidaSans-Typewriter' is not defined

and then immediately quitting. (There seems to be a problem with  
Lucida Sans Typewriter fonts in X11, server side and user side, and  
also in Mac OS X 10.4.11.)
