I'll need more details on what you think is broken (hint - two actual
short files that you tried to join, and the results you got vs what you
expected).  Also, coreutils-5.3.0-3 join is unmodified from upstream
sources, so you may want to ask this question on the upstream list
(bug-coreutils AT gnu DOT org).  But it may have something to do with file
encodings; if your two inputs have different encodings, accented
characters don't necessarily have the same underlying bytes, and that
might mess up join.  Also, join requires both files to be sorted on the
join fields, and if they are not, there is no telling what results to expect.
