Sorry, I forgot to tell you something very important: the é MUST be
encoded in NFC, not in NFD, otherwise you'll probably won't see the
bug. Here I get "ab".

No, I have no problems with zsh (which is 4.3.10). The problem occurs
only in cooked mode, and this doesn't depend on the terminal (Apple's
terminal, iTerm and uxterm have the same problem).

I have 10.4.11 (10.5 doesn't support one of my hardware cards).
