- compiled grass trunk from source
(couldn't find a way to come by sensible version information within grass)

grass7_trunk$ svnversion
64696

- started grass_trunk

GRASS 7.0.0 (test_location):~ > locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de:en_US:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
[...]


GRASS 7.0.0 (test_location):~ > g.extension r.grow.shrink --verbose
[...]
Updating metadata file...
Manual page for <r.grow.shrink> updated
Installation of <r.grow.shrink> successfully finished


Afterwards GRASS trunk (64696) and current releasebranch (64695, todays ubuntu 
package, thanks to Martin L) start fine.
None of the above problems persist!
