Cannot attach to user manager with non-ascii symbols in password [CORE3411]

When I create a new user with password containig non-ascii symbols(like cyrillic), I can attach to database with this password, but I can't change this password using gsec: >gsec -add test -pw тест -user sysdba -pass masterkey

>gsec -modify test -pw 777 -user test -pass тест use gsec -? to get help Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login. unable to open database

>gsec -modify sysdba -pw тест -user sysdba -pass masterkey

>gsec -modify sysdba -pw 777 -user sysdba -pass тест use gsec -? to get help Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login. unable to open database

This is probably due to different code pages (OEM vs ANSI). Windows converts command line arguments from OEM to ANSI in the console.

But it's working properly with Firebird-2.1.4.18393_0_Win32 SS, so in firebird 2.5 it's been broken? I've tested with gsec and IBExpert, results the same, 2.1 working good, 2.5 - throws an error.

Firebird-2.1.4.18393_0_Win32:

D:\bin\firebird\bin>gsec -add test -pw тест -user sysdba -pass masterkey

D:\bin\firebird\bin>gsec -modify test -pw 777 -user test -pass тест

D:\bin\firebird\bin>

Could not it happen due to the fact that password is converted to and from UTF-8 when attaching to service, but not - when starting user_mod service from gsec? At the first glance looks like very possible reason for a bug with non-ascii passwords.
