The issue is browser-independent.
Please provide any additional information below.
Tried to set LANG environment variable to en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/apache2/envvars but it didn't help.
When the exception is caught for the problematic group the log-in is successful, but if the required group contains non-ascii characters this solution is not enough.
Please check this.
