Just for completeness, it seems that it's the specific Latin-1 setting
of current-language-environment that messed with the rendering.

If I don't customize it to Latin-1, the current-language-environment
seems to be calculated to French (which sounds logical given my locale
envs), and then it works. I assume that French means French with UTF-8
whereas Latin-1 means what it means ;)

That's logical, but far from obvious until you've found the culprit.

Closing the Debian bug then.

Sorry for the bothering, and thanks for your help.

/Merci et à bientôt/ (just to check once more ;)
