Cannot set a password containing umlauts (äüö)

Might be a bug of LDAPUserFolder, so I reported it also there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ldapuserfolder/+bug/1308201 (Might be related to https://github.com/plone/plone.app.ldap/issues/3)

Go to myplonesite.org/@@change-password (or "My Setting" => "Password" tab)

Then try to change your old password to one that contains Umlauts like Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ü or ü.

Then you get the following traceback:
