Interesting ... if I copy'n'paste the above I get:
$ touch äßé

If I copy'n'paste the above into another VT I get
touch .

But it takes 13 backspace pushes to erase it.
Then if I type $ echo $LANG
-bash: echo: command not found

But if I type it again:
en_NZ.UTF-8

Must be upsetting readline or something.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to 
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
