By default Emacs uses different internal representations for the "same" character in different coding systems. So a iso-8859-1 "ä" is a different thing than a utf-8 "ä". This difference will disappear when Emacs switches to Unicode internally. For the time being the OP could use Unicode unification, if his Emacs version is young enough. I have used this for some years now without any problems. Maybe it solves the original problem.
