From btxdoc, which is part of texlive:

"you must place the entire accented character in braces; in this case either {\"a} or {\"{a}} will do. Furthermore these braces must not themselves be enclosed in braces (other than the ones that might delimit the entire field or the entire entry); and there must be a backslash as the very first character inside the braces..."

Thusly: Tr{\"a}ger

But I admit it's not easy to know that, bibtex documentation is a real mess, and Oren Patashnik appears to suffer from a real disease which prevents him from writing clear sentences and easily parsable documents.
