Ah, you have hit another "issue" with cygwin. This problem is that the
bbdb-autoloads file doesn't get generated. I "solve" this problem by
doing the following:
(1) Fetch the latest VM source
(http://www.wonderworks.com/vm/download.html)
(2) There is a piece of lisp called make-autoloads
(3) Run emacs -batch -l make-autoloads -f print-autoloads *.el >> bbdb-autoloads.el
(4) This should be done in the bbdb/lisp directory. This creates the
autoloads file properly which should solve the above problem.
(5) Ronan Waide: This is how VM is generating autoloads for quite a
while (maybe 2-3 years now). At issue, I believe, was the same
problem when people like me tried the original method for
autoloads on Windows/cygwin environments. Couldn't BBDB switch to
this as well?

I have this problem, but not having many names with accented
characters, it is not that big of an issue as it probably is for
you. I have been experimenting with the coding system for saving .bbdb
and raw-text seems work. Try that.

I am using a fairly recent BBDB from CVS and I don't seem to have this
problem.
Hope this helps,
