 Replying to [comment:2 marisn]:
 > It is still an issue with current trunk. As it prevents users from
 creating new vector data sets, I'm setting this as a blocker. Unless GRASS
 7.0 ships without wxGUI, UnicodeEncodeError needs to be eliminated in it.

 I attached a diff which solves some of the issues. I didn't commit it
 because it's not complete (I don't have much time for it). So feel free to
 improve it.
