Hm, indeed it works when you have the Umlaut-Keys.
Unfortunately, it does not when I use the compose-key :-(
Obviously, Mathed ignores (or grabs?) COMPOSE.

Hm, I just tried -dbg 4, and it *does* see the composed character, but
it does not display it :-(  For a "normal" compose-event, I get

KeySym is [0] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
Empty kbd action (probably composing)
KeySym is Shift_L[65505] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
KeySym is [0] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is """
Empty kbd action (probably composing)
KeySym is [0] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is "a"
Empty kbd action (probably composing)
KeySym is adiaeresis[228] and num_bytes is 1 the string returned is
"äeôÿ¿&"
Key [-1][adiaeresis][1]

in Math-Mode, it is exactly the same, just the character doesn't show up:

KeySym is [0] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
Empty kbd action (probably composing)
KeySym is Shift_L[65505] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is ""
KeySym is [0] and num_bytes is 0 the string returned is """

Key [-1][adiaeresis][1]

Something for the developers ;-)
