bug#65894: 29.1; Cannot map dead keys to commands anymore in emacs 29.

[Amic Frouvelle]

Let us say I want to map the dead circumflex to some command. In emacs
28, I had no problem to do that. For instance the following line in
.emacs.el worked as expected (in emacs 29 it does not work anymore) :
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-dead-circumflex>") 'query-replace)

In emacs 29, when I do
M-x local-set-key
and then press the dead circumflex key, it does nothing (it does the
second time I press it but for the character ^).
When I try to do it with C- and then the dead-circumflex key (my
original intent) it does not do anything even if I press the dead key twice.

And the global-set-key method you used before -- does it still work?

Thanks.

Would you please test this on the emacs-29 branch, not merely the
release?  Several similar problems have already been fixed there.
