This behaviour is coherent with the hypothesis that you're in fact using 
the diaeresis key, and it seems to be a "dead key" on your keyboard. 
What happens when you press:
- {mysterious key}+{space}. Do you get a single ¨ ?
- {mysterious key}+a. Do you get ä ? That is (if encoding of this key 
get börked) an a plus two dots on top of it.
- {mysterious key}+e. Do you get ë ? (Same thing for e)

You may use the illustration in the Diaeresis wikipedia article [1] 
useful (right sidebar).

Good luck,
