Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Emacs 23 from the dash or via the command line:
    $ emacs
or even
    $ emacs -Q
2. Switch to the scratch buffer, if necessary.
3. Press `<Multi_key>', then `c', then `,'.

Expected results:

A c with a cedilla (ç) appears.

Actual results:

Emacs complains in the mini-buffer that ``<Multi_key> is undefined''.
The `c' and `,' self-insert.

This problem began when I upgraded to Saucy.

Running emacs with the input method set to none in XMODIFIERS is a workaround:
    $ XMODIFIERS=@im=none emacs

Unlike other similar bug reports that Google turned up, xterm does not exhibit the same problem; only Emacs seems to be affected. Hence, I am reporting this under emacs23 to start with, though I would not be surprised if it ended up elsewhere.
