I don't have a German locale here, so I can't test this.  However, the
buffer I get when I try this is seems to use an utf-8 input method, so
it seems likely that this has been fixed in the decade that passed since
the bug report.

Does somebody here have Emacs running in a German locale and can test
this?  (Or any other locale that outputs non-ASCII characters for "diff
bin1 bin2".)
