it seems to be an encoding issue of attribute data handling

This is a larger problem. In case of geonames, they are encoded in utf8, but the decode function uses local encoding. There is GRASS_DB_ENCODING, which should in theory help, but it's not used in v.report and more generally, it's not tied to individual tables and it's not user-friendly. One practical way, which wouldn't solve this for all cases, but perhaps majority is to have a new decode function for attribute data, which would try first GRASS_DB_ENCODING if specified, then try decoding with local encoding and if that doesn't work, use utf8.

Conditional GRASS_DB_ENCODING which might be used for inspiration in this regards:

Based on this if you don't have DB encoding specified (in GUI preferences or through env variable) then it uses utf-8. That's fine on systems with utf-8 but on Windows? Should it use local encoding instead? Since we need to work with Python 3 and unicode strings, the garbage in, garbage out doesn't work now and at the same time we don't know the encoding of the attributes.

Is it really a blocker?

Priority: blockermajor

There has been some fixes in GUI, which could help a little bit. The general problem persists, but I don't think it's blocker.
