Comment(by marisn):

 Re-tested with 7.0.0 r64041 after removing the AppData/Roaming/GRASS
 folder and it was still an issue. I couldn't perform any other tests, as
 g.gui is failing on this build (different issue).

 I managed to track it down - grass.gisenv() returns str, but database is
 unicode. I took the liberty to fix it for 7.1 in r64044
 No more warnings on my Vista box and Linux box.

 I would say that this needs to be backported to releasebranch (unless it
 needs to be reverted as a band aid and grass.gisenv() is changed to return
 unicode strings). I'm leaving for the wx and Python gurus to decide.
