g.gui: UnicodeEncodeError when writing a workspace file including non-ASCII characters

[lrntct]

I've a workspace with two vector files. Saving it worked fine until I added a non-ASCII character in a WHERE field:

d.vect map=Localidades_Urbanas_Estudio@PERMANENT where="b_Municipio IN ('Saltillo', 'Río Bravo')" width=1

The display function works correctly, but when I try to save the workspace, I receive the following error:

Writing current settings to workspace file failed.

Reason: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xed' in position 57: ordinal not in range(128)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/grass72/gui/wxpython/lmgr/frame.py", line 1634, in SaveToWorkspaceFile
    WriteWorkspaceFile(lmgr=self, file=tmpfile)

I'm using 7.2.0

Indeed #3275 and #3340 seems related (if not equal). I searched for keywords before filling the ticket, but did not find them because the message is in French in those.

If I understand well, this issue should be fixed in 7.2.2 ?

Fixed (in 7.2.2 according to comment:4, tested with trunk now).

Note: There seems to be different problem: The where statement does not show in the dialog of loaded workspace but it was applied and in status bar you can see it was loaded correctly. Leaving that for further confirmation and different ticket if needed.
