You can try stuff like echo `echo åäö or other characters | iconv -f
UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1`<tab>
It will just expand to an empty string in the command line, but the
completion listing does show the å (rxvt-unicode shows invalid
characters as latin-1 which is not really the right thing to do but
still more helpful than a box).
As for confusing zsh with keyboard input, just running a terminal in
some iso-8859 mode and running export LC_CTYPE=xx_XX.UTF-8 should be
enough to trigger the thing i talked about, since zsh then expects the
input to be UTF-8.
