Ok, after some trouble with producing a non-utf8 document, I can tell 
that this document fails with all pdf, xe and lualatex. But my error 
messages are not as fun as Alan's and Philip's:

! LaTeX Error: File `t�te.tex' not found.

Why don't I have a funny \relax {\begingroup … ? :(

cheers
Arno

p.s.: Ulrike, in the case that you got a mail from me telling something 
totally different from this mail, it was because that file was still 
utf8 encoded.
