This seems to be ifrench-gut responsability. I have tried with the other
ispell french dict (The Hydro-Quebec version) which seems to suffer the
same problem, so what I did should apply to ifrench-gut as well.

I have rebuilt the package with a new explicit latin0 entry that includes
the oe OE single chars inCasechars/Non-casechars and declares the dict as
iso-8859-15 and seems to work here (I cannot see it properly, because one
font seems to be missing in emacs). Before doing those changes I also
found that problem.

Note that this will not work for emacs-snapshot, that is not affected by the
dictionaries-common policy, nor with aspell-fr that is iso-8859-1.

Regarding other french dicts, aspell-fr seems to use "oe" as a two char
sequence, thus defaulting to iso-8859-1, while ifrench* variants use it
as a single char one (iso-8859-15), but are declared as iso-8859-1, a
bit confusing. This is why I added a new name, so the old behavior is
similar for both ispell and aspell.

I am thus reassigning this bug report to ifrench-gut, so Nicolas Sabouret
can decide what to do here. I am attaching a diff with the changes I
tested. I am not sure if adding that new entry is really desirable.

Thanks for your info
