In this case, the app is a developer tool, so I predict CLI use to be

If it were me, I would just name the app with the umlaut. Even in
the unlikely event that a user wants to work from the command line
and doesn't know how to type it, they should be able to use copy-
and-paste or tab completion.
If AppleScript uses CFBundleName for targeting scripts, then that
is an even better reason for providing an easily-typed app name.
QuickSilver is a great example of a very popular app whose actual
name is not made up of normal ASCII A-Z and a-z characters, but
less common Unicode forms of those characters, yet its name appears
as plain ASCII characters to AppleScript.
So yes, go with plain characters for the CFBundleName so your users
won't cuss every time they try to script/CLI your app.
Oh. Hmm. CFBundleName seems to affect the Application menu name, and
that's where I want the umlaut to appear. Not sure what the right
thing to do is. Fortunately, I've got some time before I release the
app, so I'll burn that bridge when I come to it, I guess.
