UTF-8 emacs and gentoo troubles


Hi! Everything used to work great with emacs in gentoo but when I updated from 22.1 to 22.2 something began to fail with dired and minibuffer localization.

I used the "es_CL" locale and when I updated, if I restarted emacs with a dired buffer like "~/Matemáticas", and, after restarted, I tried to update it, the buffer would go blank (empty) and in the minibuffer would appear a message saying something like "File "~/Matem\201áticas" does not longer exist in disk". I had to kill the buffer and open it again. It's very weird because everything works fine with localization except for that (I mean input, every other message in the minibuffer, saving, etc).

I decided then to move on to UTF-8 (something I resisted to do for quite a long time, so I thought it would be a good moment). So I changed my locale settings to "es_CL.utf8" (I think its an alias to the real "es_CL-UTF8" or whatever), changed the default NLS option to utf8 in kernel and recompiled/installed it, and emerged convmv and converted every file in my home directory from iso-8859-1 to utf8. I changed emacs settings (language environment and file-name-coding-system with customize) to use UTF-8 (I don't think there is anything else that those 2 I mentioned), but I still have the same problem. Exactly the same.

Any help?
