The other major problem is, that since this

As a side effect we are now adding unnecessary
work to people from non-latin
wikis by pushing them to always switch to latin
keyboard, or to click on
edittools or whatever just to get the one "x" character in editbox to create
the
anchor link.
The anchors of non-latin headers are already (latin) gibberish:
#.D0.A4.D0.B8.D0.BB.D1.8C.D0.BC.D0.BE.D0.B3.D1.80.D0.B0.D1.84.D0.B8.D1.8F
It doesn't seem reasonable to think that people could create anchors
in their head from text, except in special cases.

I'm sorry, but you are not right. Of course people can create anchors from their head
(or usually by simple copypasting of the headline). The "gibberish" you speak
about is created/converted automaticaly by software and user does not have to think about
it.
If I'll write [[Foo#ěščřž]] link on wiki, it is converted to
http://.../Foo#.C4.9B.C5.A1.C4.8D.C5.99.C5.BE and WORKS properly - takes me to such
section. Same on non-latin wikis. (I'm speaking about the old version before all
discussed changes.)
I do not have to write whose "gibberish" anchor names when I want to link to
anchor because anchor links are automatically converted by software from human-readable
text to that ASCII stuff.
In old version I could have simply copy the headline and paste it after # within [[...]]
brackets and the link has been done. Now I can't simply copypaste,but I have to think
about prepending of "x" - which - as I mentioned before - is hella lot
unnecessary work for non-latin users who have to switch the keyboard etc. (see above)
Kind regards
