AFAIK, this is not related to the charset variable. I don't even use
this variable. First, you need to upgrade. Version 1.3.28 is obsolete.
IIRC, iconv support was recently rewritten; perhaps you have the old
version in 1.3.28 (I don't remember).

I don't use us-with-deadkeys, just direct accented characters. I have
the following in my .emacs if this may help you...
(standard-display-european 1)
(set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode))
(nth 1 (current-input-mode)) 0))
