Yes, and I agree that it is a bug, though what I see is very slightly
different from what you report, at this point:

If I set scroll-lock and enter Emacs -Q (or Emacs -Q, then switch out
of Emacs, set scroll-lock, switch back to Emacs), when I press ´ I get
nothing until Í press "a" (and get "a", not "á", or for example space,
and then I get ´ alone). Afterwards, pressing ´ inserts it, i.e., it
doesn't work as a dead key, apparently.
