No tricks, but a less complicated approach. I modified your example  
files a little bit:

@book{test,
	Author = {Möşıö},
	Booktitle = {Accents in Author},
	Publisher = {XeLaTeX},
	Title = {Accents in author},
	Year = {2006}}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{astron}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Hoefler Text}% whatever font on your system with the  
appropriate glyphs
\begin{document}
\cite{test}
\bibliography{test}
\bibliographystyle{astron}
\end{document}

Works without any problems. – If you insist on your accents (maybe  
because of a legacy bibtex database), you have to use \usepackage 
{xunicode,fontspec} in the third line.
