My earlier testing was insufficient, I can confirm the issue with grass
6.4.4 on jessie and 7.0.1 on unstable.

On jessie the 'Select source mapset' dropdown is empty, on unstable the
dropdown is populated with empty options. When the same grassdata
directory only has ascii characters in its path, the dropdown is
populated with mapsets as expected.

I've updated the upstream issue noting that is still affects GRASS 7,
see: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1672#comment:3

Kind Regards,
