That's a longstanding problem.  For example,
if I run this in an Emacs-24.3 source tree:

     $ LC_ALL=sv_SE.ISO8859-1 ./src/emacs -Q
     C-u C-h i info/dbus.info RET
     g Type Conversion RET M->

I see a "ÿ" that should be a "ÿ".

As I understand it this problem doesn't occur often,
and is limited to the now-rare users who employ
unibyte locales.  If so, it's not urgent to fix this
longstanding problem now.

The problem is fixed by the proposed post-feature-freeze
patch.
