That's totally orthogonal and is like a one-line change.  Probably you
just have to change getPrefixedDBkey() to getDBkey() somewhere.

Could you point me to an example of some pages and categories where
this is an issue?  I'm not clear on how categories/pages/sort keys are
being used here.

So if we have three pages "Áa", "Ab", "Ác" and they're sorted in the
category in that order, should they be in one section?  I don't see
how you'd put them in two or three sections.  If they're in one
section, what letter do you use for it, "Á" or "A"?  We can figure out
"A" is correct here, but how do you do that in general automatically?
