I am still not sure if it is a local problem or a general one or depends 
on the tcltk version.

Sure (eg Spearfish):
d.mon x0
v.digit -n newmap
# now go to "Settings" icon, "Table" tab, "Add column", add a column of 
your choice, "Create table"
# close the "Settings" window
# digitize a line
# enter a value into the attribute popup form
# "submit button" (default is utf-8 which seems to work)
# change the encoding, click "submit button" again and voila' the error 
appear in the terminal
