In both cases, you assume that the elt (or its `car') is a unibyte
string that needs to be decoded. But those should have been decoded
already. Please try and figure out why they're still unibyte strings
rather than pre-decoded multibyte strings.

My guess is that if you try the same thing with a different locale, it
will fail, because the skk-mode for some reasons places utf-8 encoded
unibyte strings in the menu, so the if any decoding is needed it should
be with utf-8 rther than with locale-coding-system.
