No, perhaps predictibly so. Using \cite{Hö03} or other keys with umlauts generates the error ‘Missing \endcsname inserted’. So umlauts in the content field of a tag in the bib file seems to be accepted, but not in the key. The behavior is the same whether a numerical or alphabetical reference style is used. Working example attached.
