I found it. the problem only occurs when EMACS_UNIBYTE is set.

I  (along, I presume, with all or most Europeans) cannot use Emacs in
multibyte mode.  so this _must_ work in unibyte mode.  with 

          ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist 

containing

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>EMACS_UNIBYTE</key>
        <string>TRUE</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Emacs starts in unibyte mode, the problematic characters are
represented as one byte, but Emacs displays them wrong.  without this,
Emacs displays the problematic characters correcly, but they are
represented with two bytes as UTF-8 which is no good.
