"ņ" is an extended ASCII character in the Latin-1 character set, and hence fouls up the logic of [capitalize]. It is a bug only in the sense that it doesn't do what _you_ expected it to do. It is not a bug in the sense that anyone who expects extended ASCII characters to be handled consistently by all browsers is going to be massively mistaken. Don't use extended ASCII; always use HTML entities (in this case ñ).
