Found the problem. In one of the locations I had a copy of a mapset 
folder 'Dispersal' which I named 'Dispersal backup', so it is the space 
in the name of the second one that caused the problem.

So now I could try out the new functionality. I can display or copy maps 
from other mapsets, but only if in the same location. If I am in another 
location, there is still the option to display or copy in the context 
menu (right click), but when selecting copy, there is the error message 
that "failed to copy: action is allowed only within the same mapset". 
When selecting 'display', the message is "failed to display:  not in 
current mapset or invalid layer".
