bug#2940: 23.0.92; C-s in dired fails to find files with umlauts

[Markus Triska <markus.triska@gmx.at>]

With ~/töst.txt existing, when I do:

   $ emacs -Q ~/

and press:

   C-\ german-postfix RET C-s oe RET

to search for "ö" in the dired buffer (the input method correctly
converts the entered "oe" to "ö" in the minibuffer), I get:

   Failing wrapped I-search [DE<]: ö

C-u C-x = on the "ö" in the dired buffer yields:

             character: o (111, #o157, #x6f)
     preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
            code point: 0x6F
                syntax: w 	which means: word
              category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
           buffer code: #x6F
             file code: #x6F (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
               display: composed to form "ö" (see below)

     Composed with the following character(s) "̈" using this font:

     by these glyphs:
       [0 1 111 82 11 1 10 8 0 nil]
       [0 1 776 235 6 0 6 12 -9 [-9 -1 0]]

       name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O

     There are text properties here:
       dired-filename       t
       fontified            t
       help-echo            "mouse-2: visit this file in other window"
       mouse-face           highlight

C-u C-x = on the first "t" in "töst.txt" yields:

             character: t (116, #o164, #x74)
     preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
            code point: 0x74
