Ah well, must have confused this one with the Shift-alt-6 keyboard  
error.  (Does no one use anything besides German keyboards with  
Emacs.app or do all other ones just work more simply? ;)

I can put in a special-case detection for shifted dead keys, but the  
code in EmacsView-keyDown in nsterm.m is getting rather complicated  
to handle all the special cases and I'm worried it will break  
something else that I don't normally use.  Could you and anyone else  
interested please replace line 3852 with the following and test it as  
thoroughly as you can for a couple of weeks?  If ill effects with  
other keys aren't observed I'll put it into the next release.

       if (fnKeysym || (emacs_event->modifiers && [[theEvent  
characters] length] > 0))

This "works for me" but I don't know if there are cases out there  
where modified zero-character non-function keys should be passed to  
emacs.
