I cannot say when. Have a look inside t1enc.def, there you see definitions
like
\DeclareTextComposite{\`}{T1}{\i}{236}
\DeclareTextComposite{\'}{T1}{i}{237}
...
and for OT1
\DeclareTextCompositeCommand{\`}{OT1}{i}{\@tabacckludge`\i}
\DeclareTextCompositeCommand{\'}{OT1}{i}{\@tabacckludge'\i}
...
(fntguide.pdf documents the font encoding files and commands).
