Linking or importing raster with non-ascii characters in filename fails in wxGUI with UnicodeEncodeError

GRASS SVN Revision: 58403

When attempting to import or link a raster with a non-ascii basename the wxGUI dialog, after selecting the file, does not provide a layer for selection.

Traceback from Command console output from r.external, but same happens with r.in.gdal:

Traceback (most recent call last):

packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/filebrowsebutton.py",

retName = str(name).strip()
UnicodeEncodeError
:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 18:
ordinal not in range(128)

The filename in question: /home/torsti/lähdeaineistot/Kansalliskirjasto/pitäjänkartta/VVJ/670-253 - 1945 - Röykkä - 1.tif. The $GISDBASE path does not contain non-ascii characters and importing/linking files where any path component except the filename/basename contains non-ascii characters does work, e.g. importing the same file with Roykka substituted for Röykkä is ok.
