        I think the relevante code from
/usr/share/xemacs21/mule-packages/lisp/leim/quail.el is:

(defvar quail-mode-map 
  (let ((map (make-keymap))
        (i ? ))
    (while (< i 127)
      (define-key map (char-to-string i) 'quail-start-translation)
      (setq i (1+ i)))
    (setq i 128)
    (while (< i 256)
      (define-key map (vector (int-char i)) 'quail-start-translation)
      (setq i (1+ i)))
    map)
  "Keymap for Quail mode.")

        Now, I don't know much elisp, but why on earth does Quail remap all
those keys? You'd think it'd want to do some sort of translation (locale or
something) before the appropriate functions, but dabbrev-expand, for one,
stops working correctly, as does yank-pop (M-y), as I'm sure do lots of
other keybindings.

        Is this the correct behaviour? Should this be considered a bug?

        TIA,
