IIRC, I was the first one here to suggest to just document the issue and be done with it. But documenting it would be a good idea. Something along the lines: "When using non-ASCII characters in Emacs Lisp source files, beware that compilation "freezes" some of your current settings for character unification and/or fragmentation. I want to fix this bug, not document it. As far as I can see, people are overestimating the difficulty of fixing it, by focusing on certain approaches (which are difficult) rather than looking for the ways that are easy.
