start emacs -Q; select TeX input method; type \=U

expected result:  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON
actual result:  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH MACRON AND DIAERESIS

typing \=A works as expected, so this seems to be a more specific bug.

That's what I get, in 24.1, 24.3, and current trunk.

Although on a different system, I see the same as you.

The key is associated with a list of characters, which you are supposed
to be able to select from, but I was unable to find out how to do that
yet.

I am sorry, what you are saying here is above my head.  Is the buggy
behavior I observe something that you can confirm, or is it just me
seeing this?

It's not just you.

What Andreas is saying that \=U can insert one of several characters
(see "C-h C-\ TeX RET"), and it inserts different ones on different
machines (I even have it insert different characters on the same
system but different Emacs versions).  However, which one it inserts
and how to force it insert the others is a mystery.  Perhaps Handa-san
(CC'ed) could help us out.

Interestingly, I do not get multiple options, according to the (quail-help)
output.  The end of that output suggests that the TAB key might be used to
choose which of many, but as I do not get any multiples here I cannot confirm.

Perhaps the locale in which one runs emacs affects the output of the code
which builds the table?

That is already fixed on the emacs-24 branch.  The problem was that the
autogeneration of the quail rules has generated conflicts due to too
broad matching on the ucs names.  Now the rules no longer contain
entries for non-latin accented letters.
