db.out.ogr together with g.parser doesn't play nicely with non-lati characters containing DSN

[marisn]

Select any table and set DNS to contain non-latin characters. I added -x, also echo before g.parser and before v.out.ogr. Output when running from CLI:

No problems observed when running on Linux with UTF-8 locale. Also there are no problems when pointing v.out.ogr (from wxgui) to DSN that contains non-latin characters.

Does the problem persist?

[marisn]

Yes.

It seems to work from CLI, if I don't specify output file name, just folder. Still it creates a new folder with strange name: "C:\Users\tests\Documents\ÕaurslieØu dzelzceëÕ"

CLI continued (<fails> is not a valid parameter):

Can't test 6.5 due to bug #1297
