Meanwhile we need to handle keyboard input in Emacs 22.2 in a way that
is not any worse than 22.1.

AFAICT, CJK punctuation, Kana, Jamo, Kanbun, Bopomofo, CJK radicals,
Thai and possibly Greek and Cyrillic are potentially problematic. Am I
correct in thinking that Latin character sets are not affected?

Is there a well defined range of unicode that does or doesn't support
conversion? Doesn't pasting from the clipboard have the same problem?
