No, this has nothing to do with dead keys or characters composed by typing an accent and then the letter. The german umlauts öäüß are own characters as oau. There are lower case and upper case forms of them, while the upper case are created with the normal shift key. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Qwertz_de.svg In VT2 all keys work correctly. And: I just tried with a 4.0r1 installation DVD: no problems, all keys work correctly.
