Comment(by mlennert):

 I can confirm this bug.

 Setting utf-8 in the GUI preferences Attribut tab, I can edit the
 attribute table and add 'āšņļ', but even with that setting, I cannot edit
 the attributes in the digitizer. I get the same error message as Maris.

 I think it might be helpful to try to develop guidelines for developers on
 how to handle non-ascii. Especially in the wxGUI this issue comes up very
 often.
