When deactivating it, I could not type 8bit chars anymore in Terminal.app.

This is OT now, but I later played around with my customized 
.bash_profile (on OSX), it contained these two lines:

   stty cs8 -istrip -parenb
   bind 'set output-meta on'

I added them long time ago exactly for using 8bit chars in all Terminal 
apps, following some Usenet suggestions.
I now added this one:

   bind 'set convert-meta off'

...and everything seems to be fine now, without the need for the "Escape 
non-ASCII chars" option. Apart from the fact that now 8bit chars seem to 
be broken in the local OSX text-mode emacs, but I don't care about it, 
as I already said ;).
