This works fine with "emacs -Q -nw" and in all other applications. I found 2 workarounds on the web: $ XMODIFIERS=3D'' emacs and typing C-x 8 RET RET once Then, typing "right-control quote e" creates the correct =E9. Many people report the same issue (just search "XMODIFIERS emacs" in any search engine. This is like that for both emacs24 and emacs-snapshot on at least Ubuntu 14.04 (but some users have experienced this for years).
