Close the dosemu keymap happens to be hardcoded to US for terminals.
So it doesn't know what to do with an umlaut it doesn't map to anything
so the umlaut is dropped.

Could you check out:

I haven't doubled checked your particular case but it should be handled correctly.

Also using X_keycode mode in xdos has also been know to make the keyboard
work better for non English keyboard configurations.
