German Umlauts by string literal constructor dont work in the new VM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Under IOS with the new VM a Label with German Umlauts does not work anymore. 
With the old one its ok.

This code:
        Form formIT = new Form("Investigating Troubles");
        formIT.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        final Label label = new Label("ÄÖÜäöüß");
        formIT.addComponent(label);
        formIT.show();

... displays ÄÖÜäöüß with the old VM on the iPhone; with the new VM ist 
displays lots of backslashes

That works. However if writing such special characters using the Storage class 
and reading them back the string is garbled (converting String to byte array 
and vice versa without specifying a character set). I assume that is the same 
as https://code.google.com/p/codenameone/issues/detail?id=1291
