Ah! bash was a red herring and entirely my fault. I had this in .inputrc, left over from a previous era:

  Meta-#: "\C-v£"

This mapped byte 0xA3 to C-v £, which caused great confusion. Removing it fixed both £ and ğ (I think the latter was because I'd got bash's internal state in a muddle).

Back to the drawing board regarding login ...
