Uh, but it works. I grabbed xfree86 sources (apt-get source xterm),
applied the "fix" and recompiled xterm. Dead keys did not work before,
and were working with the fixed xterm (156). For both UTF-8 and
ISO-8859-2 locales, for slovak diacritics at least.

I was holding xterm from upgrading because I did not want to lose 
the diacritics. Having read your mail, I decided to give it a try,
I upgraded xterm (I am running debian unstable otherwise),
and it seems to work beautifully out of the box.
So, the problem seems to be solved now.
