	  /* Get the codepage to interpret this key with.  */
          GetLocaleInfo (GetThreadLocale (),
			 LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE, cp, 20);
	  cpId = atoi (cp);

is quite suspicious. It appears in two places - one is a fallback for
older versions of Windows that do not fully support Unicode, the other
is more interesting for this case, as it is in the dead key handling,
and from Juanma's description, a dead key is being used to input the
problem characters.

The above lines should probably be replaced with

   cpId = GetConsoleCP ();
