Summary: Writer mangles AutoHotKey hotstring with accents

AHK script
I have used AutoHotKey with Writer with great success. But OO Writer 3.4.1 (and
3.4.0) gives problems with auto-replace hotstring with accents:
Example: an AutoHotKey script contains
::gbq::algébrique
If I type 'gbq', I expect to get 'algébrique'. I do most of the time --in a
text editor, in an email edit window, in OpenOffice Calc, MSWord, etc. But not
in OpenOffice Writer.
The results shown below for the text editor (PSPad, Notepad2,
SciTE4AutoHotKey, etc.) are correct, ie, as expected. Correct results are also
obtained in auxiliary Writer windows --eg, entering a searched string or a math
formula.
The results in OO Writer are truncated before an accented character. What's
left is even bold and italicized! Weird. This happens both under Windows XP and
Vista. Examples:
typed expected result result in OO Writer
0 mmii moment d'inertie moment d'inertie
1 gbq algébrique ébrique
2 crg corrigé é
3 anq application numérique application érique
4 andt accélération d'entraînement ération înement
5 cadd c'est-à-dire c'està-dire
example 0 is correct because there is no accented character
example 3: 'numérique' is truncated, but 'application' is preserved
example 5: the dash before 'à' has vanished.
This is not strictly a bug since OO is not guaranteed to be compatible with
other software. However, I would appreciate if someone with insight on the
inner workings of Writer could see where the problem originates, and how to
circumvent it. Besides, it might BE a bug to fix!
The AHK script is attached. Also its compiled version, yAbrev.exe, useable
if you don't have AHK installed on your computer.
