Since I can't find the place where to post the bug, I'm doing it here for reference.
Hopefully, someone will do something about it. I've tried to go trough the code and managed to find the cause but I couldn't solve it all the way.

I believe that the problem begins with native/src/char_utils.cpp but changes are needed elsewhere too.
I uploaded the patch for native/src/char_utils.cpp here:

The problem with new ICS LatinIME I noticed is that it does not recognize unicode characters from languages like Czech or Croatian properly.
Gingerbread LatinIME works fine.


First, examples of expected behaviour:

1. CM9 ICS English - Start typing: "hom"

IME offers:
him, home, homogeneous, hometown, homemade, homosexual, homeland, homicide...


2. CM7 Croatian - Start typing: "šuš"

IME offers:
šuška, šušku, šuški, šušte, šuškom...



Here is what happens in CM9 ICS:

1. Croatian - One starts to type: "šuš"

IME offers:
usput, sluša, šuma, slušanja, šumi, slušaš, usprokos, uskrsnuće, slušao, usluge...

IME should offer (from dictionary with frequency):
...
<w word="šuška" f="48"></w>
<w word="šuškanje" f="44"></w>
<w word="šuškalo" f="44"></w>
<w word="šuša" f="37"></w>
<w word="šuškanja" f="29"></w>
<w word="šuše" f="28"></w>
<w word="šuštanja" f="26"></w>
...


2. Czech

One starts to type: "čer"

IME offers: čele, včetně, ČSSR, českou, dcera, čemu, česky, erik, českým...


IME should offer (from dictionary with frequency):
...
<w word="červ" f="255"></w>
<w word="červen" f="254"></w>
<w word="čele" f="170"></w>
<w word="černá" f="138"></w>
<w word="červenec" f="127"></w>  
<w word="červená" f="103"></w>
<w word="června" f="96"></w>
