I'm first reassigning this to cdebconf even though I'm not sure this
really belongs to that package.

With my little knowledge of d-i source I assume it somewhere in SVN/packages/cdebconf/src/modules/frontend as the gtk-plugin does not have this behaviour.

Indeed, at any point in the installer, all non ASCII input in select
questions is unproperly handled.

You mean 'string questions'? In 'select questions' the non ASCII keys do not work too, but do not have a bad side-effect. E.g. in one of the last dialogs of the partitioner there is a choice in the German version beginning with a non ASCII 'Änderungen auf Platte schreiben' and jumping to this choice does not work by clicking the key 'ä' or 'Ä'.
