LaTeX doesn't seem to have any problem with this. There are accents in 
my labels and it works pretty well.

I guess the ultimate solution would be to change the macro that 
generates the labels (according to what is written in the 
section/chapter titles) so that it strip the accented characters and 
replace them by the normal character (é,è,ë,ê -> e, à,â -> a, ô¨o (can't 
do the last one with my keyboard) -> o, and so on).
