Ah, so that's what you want it for...

I think that's even simpler; the following seems to actually work pretty
well (though no doubt there are corner cases that need addressing):

(defun insert-latin1-character ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((prev-input-method current-input-method))
    (unwind-protect
        (progn
          (activate-input-method 'latin-1-prefix)
          (apply #'insert (funcall input-method-function (read-event))))
      (activate-input-method prev-input-method))))

One nice thing about the old implementation, though, is that you can get
help by typing `C-h' during input...
