unfortunately this is a VERY old bug!
Don't have the bugzilla number at hand.

The only workaround may be to use a (temporary) SMIL file as  
described in my "mk_libSMIL1" :-)
Get it via "Rev online" (User: klausimausi) of from my website -> X- 
Talk.

It looks like a bit of "overkill" but works.

This is a very big showstopper in an "umlaut country" like germany  
and other
"accent countries" like france etc... :-(

I hope they will fix this in the next update (HINT, HINT ;-)
