Comment (by shredding):
I'll look for references, but the basic point is, that the url version of
an german umlaut should be like proposed.
If you have a website with mydomain.de/apple and mydomain.de/apples than
the german version of it should be mydomain.de/apfel and
mydomain.de/aepfel
In other cases, where you do not have a singular / plural ambiguity the
slugified version is simply a misspelled version of the original one and
this is noted by google (for the german rätsel, aka riddle=
https://www.google.com/search?q=ratsel -> google tries to autocorrect you
to rätsel
https://www.google.com/search?q=raetsel -> google accepts the query as
rätsel

seo-2/10/04/2014/
TL;DR: Converting ä to a results in misspelled words.
