This is probably the same as #394871 which is listed in the errata and as an 
open issue in the installation guide.

Are these symbols typed by typing the accent separately using a "deadkey" or 
are they typed using a special "shift" key (alt-gr)?
Do the keys work correctly if you switch to a debug console (VT2) and use 
them there?
