No, I haven't seen that. But what, in precise terms, does "will not accept" mean? Does your computer beep? Does Emacs segfault? Does it get your computer on fire? :-) Anyway, try using M-x iso-accents-customize and/or M-x standard-display-european. See if they help. I usually have no problems because I added some of these in a distant past as hooks to the text-mode so that I can use mutt for composing emails with everything in Emacs (and I speak portuguese, where characters with accents are very important).
