For interest, I thought I'd have a bit more of a look at which options displayed this effect, what caused Æ and æ to be returned.
It appears on our server (SQL 2005) that it is having a and e together in the like statement that causes this.
Changing the first like returned the following results (keeping the collation as in the question):
[ae] returns Æ and æ
[eaiou] returns nothing
[uioea] returns Œ(140) and œ(156)
It appears that SQL is doing more than checking for just the characters entered.
Philip
It's obvious now I've read that!
Thanks for the explanation, and thanks to Tom for the question

I got it wrong, but have been playing with the query. If I switch from char(1) values to nchar(1) and search 65535 values, it spits out six values:
Æ 198
æ 230
Ǣ 482
ǣ 483
Ǽ 508
ǽ 509
---
I don't see any other accented versions of Œ 338, and œ 339.
Excellent. And there are double letters for dz (two different forms), lj, nj too.
Fascinating.

Not a lucky guess, but a good question none the less. After reviewing the answer and explanation, I learned something, probably nothing I can use today, but who knows where the future lies.
Thanks,

It seems you wrote a test script that did not cover the full range of possibilities. Include CHAR(198) and CHAR(230) in your test.

Doesn't the test sql provided in answer already do that?
On my server it returns 0 rows, so it appears like some other things affect this. Maybe default collation. Probably.

I'd suspect a different set of Extended ASCII characters, probably not the default collation on the server. For the folks who are getting no records back, what language is the machine running?
[appending] Yeah, it looks like several of the ASCII character sets don't include those AE/ae characters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859

Very interesting question... definitely not something I would have realized otherwise.
