Confirmed (but see below).

Yes, on a quick look (I will do more tomorrow) I see how Umlaute
change the stty settings. But there is a notable difference: If I
enter
ä <Enter> ä
on un "normal" login, the second "ä" is changed to "d". On the
prepared terminal, however, this is not the case.
What I do see is, that:
ä <Backspace> <Enter>
b <Enter>
still has cs7, while skipping the backspace, i.e.
ä <Enter>
b <Enter>
I get cs8. So obviously the combination of "ä" and "backspace" is
rememberd by getty, while single umlaute are "forgotten" on the next
login prompt. On the "normal" login, the effect is, however, the same.

I don't understand the intrinsics of the login-getty interaction, but
this makes sense to me.
