Comment (by iandunn):

 r6210 adds the new test case, and [attachment:3295.diff] experiments with
 the temp UTF8 table.

 The new test passes with the patch, and the previously failing test for
 `Yaoundé` is doing better as well. It returns a location now, although
 it's missing the diacritics (e.g., `yaounde` instead of `Yaoundé`).

 There's `21` tests failing with the patch, though, when previously there
 was only `2`. Some of that is from the missing diacritics, but there's
 also some more serious cases, where searches for `Tokyo`, `Berlin`, etc
 fail to return a location.

 I'm guessing we'll be able to fix those, but don't have time to dig
 further today.
