Schedule from TV Guide impossible if show category contains (french) accented characters

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a show I want to record in TV Guide
2. Configure the recording schedule
3. Press "Save"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected : the recording is scheduled
Actual output : box containing the following message:
Error:OnClick
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9'
in position 1: ordinal not in range(128

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XBMC 10.0.5 with Mythbox 1.0.2 on Debian Squeeze
+ MythTV 0.24 (and I know I won't be able to see Live TV)

Please provide any additional information below.
Actually there seems to be a problem only when the show cateory includes an 
accent. 
- If I try to set a schedule for a show with a category such as "série" or 
"téléfilm", the error message appears.
- with categories such as "documentaire" or "film", everything works fine, even 
if the show title or description contain accented characters.

Hope you will be able to fix this, and thank you for the nice work!
