This also works for me, in Mac OS X.

Yes, definitely.

No, it looks to be general. Maybe it's explained somewhere in the
documentation ...
It seems that nothing is loaded automatically because there is a
choice betwee iso-transl and iso-acc. Both seem to provide an input
method with C-x 8 or Alt-<accent> prefix, but what you and I are
doing is just pressing a dead key (^, ´, `, ~, ¨) for the accent and
then another key to "compose" the accented character. And there is no
Alt key used in this! And according to documentation it seems be
appropriate for 8-bit encodings, so it should be pretty useless in
UTF-8. I reported this bug when it was introduced, but the bug seems
to be classified as a feature ... Maybe it's just because the file is
auto-loaded though pretty useless.
