I wonder if it would work to use emacs-mule as the encoding.  With
emacs-mule, you could say:

; -*- coding: emacs-mule; -*-
(global-set-key (kbd "ä") 'foo)         ; latin-1 char
(global-set-key (kbd "ä") 'bar)         ; latin-2 char

Here, the two ä characters are intended to be different characters, as
indicated in the comment.  That might do something useful.
