Hi Julia,
The two actually have the same underlying cause, as the auto-correct
simply replaces the user input with the first entry from the prediction
engine (assuming it isn't too different from the original input).
Unfortunately the current prediction engine (based on libpresage) treats
accented forms of characters as being completely unrelated to the non-
accented forms, so the predictions it generates (and which are then used
for auto-correct) are often not very helpful.
Thankfully however, we're currently in the process of improving the
prediction engine through the use of libskeyer, which should drastically
improve the quality of our predictions and part of that is handling
accented characters correctly :)
