No, I am.

You can verify further by adding:
\loadmapfile[original-ams-base]
\showmathcharacters

The normal text-ish accents are not present in the eulervm fonts. I
suppose the rationale is that these are never to be used for text (but
it becomes questionable when you don't have an overbar or dot!) 

I have tried to figure out how to get them from other fonts, but am at a
loss, in terms of the general case.

No one has mentioned it before now, so I didn't try that hard. :) 

Anyone have any suggestions on what approach to take, or what they'd
like to see?
