(Sorry for the delayed reply.)
I investigated what happened.
Emacs tries to get a code for the received xkeysym. It gets this code
acording to encoding of the locale Emacs is started with. If this
encoding includes the key-pressed symbol the result is an Emacs-event of
the form [194], where 194 is the code of the key-pressed symbol. If
this symbol is not included in the encoding of the locale, then the
result is a symbol of the form [S-Cyrillic-A]. Emacs can't interpret
such sort of events (they are not bound to any action) and that's why I
got beeps -- I started Emacs under LANG=C and thus Cyrillic symbols were
not includes of the locale encoding (i.e. ASCII). This is not a real
bug, but only a wishlist.
However Emacs beeps also for xkeysyms like ISO_Next_Group, thou it must
interpret them the same way as Mode_switch. This is a bug, I've
attached the fix.
Copying from a KOI8-R of ISO-8859-5 xterm and pasting in Emacs works
fine -- the result are symbols from ISO-8859-5. Copying from an Unicode
xterm gives Japanese double-width Cyrillic symbols. The output of C-u
C-x = is attached.
