(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have gotten no
responses yet.)

I'm unable to reproduce this bug, because if I type

\"o TAB

I just end up with a buffer with an ö character and a TAB inserted.  Are
there any additional steps to see the completions, or has this just
changed a lot in the intervening years and been fixed in a different
way?
