I don't seem to have any problem with the steps you enumerate. 

For example, in my version 3.01.00.006 system step three produces these results:

Perhaps you can update your codebase and try again?  Please also mention whether you (or your browser) represents "Μούσης" with any combining characters (as opposed to their normalized unicode representations). 

In any case, please also verify the utf8-ness of your setup as described here:

Thank you for providing a concrete set of steps with data so that we at least have something to test!

US keyboard - I did not type the diacritics (I think the problem is with the
character "ϊ" of the eu2.marc file)

I uploaded, staged and imported a file with records that contain amongst
other MANY titles the word "Ευρωαπαϊκή" (it means European) as a title of a
book. After that, any catalog search that contains a word that was in that file
gives me the error page:

Error:  Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2133.

I undid the import but nothing happened.

The BIG problem is that it contained many many widely used words like
"economics" or "environment" or "statistics". So now that I search for these
words I get the same error page.

Could you please provide me with a work around in order to remove this
staged
file please?

########
Way to reproduce:
########
Download: http://costis.name/eu2.marc : this file contains various entries
amongst them
there is a book written by McCann, and in a later line another book that
contains the string "Ευρωπαϊκ" in its title, written by "Μούσης".

1. I have a clean installation of koha and import eu2.marc
2. I search for McCann, and I get the result I should
3. I search for Μούσης and I get the error (Error:  Can't call method
"as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line
2133.)
4. I search for McCann, and I get the same Error!... Isn't it weird that I
did
not get it in step 2?

How could i resolve this?

########
Unsuccessful solution:
########
In the database, I removed from the import_batches table the entries of
the import_batch_id 13,14,15 (these correspond to the files that contained
the
entries with the diacritics and are like the eu2.marc file), but the problem
persists. What else should I do ?
