What I mean is that in the unicode->character set conversion
approximations should be used as a fallback.
So if you use
$_internal_charset="cp437" then the DOTLESS_I should become the
approximation whereas if you use $_internal_charset="cp857" it should
become the DOTLESS_I.

This is by chance. The mistake is that the Turkish keymap contains cp857
codes. They should be replaced by Unicode, ie.
'q','w','e','r','t','y','u',141,'o','p',167,129,13,U_VOID,
should be
'q','w','e','r','t','y','u',0x131,'o','p',0x11f,0xc7,13,U_VOID,
and some other lines need to be changed too.
I'm actually still looking at the approximation strategy, it might be a
little broken but fixing the Turkish keymap at least fixes your problem.
