Description
Attempting to conjugate verbs which contain the "ß" character results in a misspelling. Conjugating the same verb with "ss" in place of "ß" results in the correct spelling.
For example, "heißen" renders to "heeißen".
from pattern.text.de import conjugate
conjugate('heißt')
Out[3]: 'heeißen'
conjugate('heißen')
Out[4]: 'heeißen'
conjugate('heissen')
Out[5]: 'heissen'
conjugate('beißen')
Out[6]: 'beeißen'
conjugate('beissen')
Out[7]: 'beissen'

Research direction
Start by reproducing the examples through pattern.text.de.conjugate, comparing verbs containing ß with their ss equivalents. Trace the German conjugation path responsible for the extra vowel. Done means heißen and beißen produce the expected conjugations while the existing ss behavior remains correct.
