There is an bug in tcl used in current wingrass packages that prevents tcl
usage with non-latin filenames. In version 8.5.8.1 directories work fine
(couldn't find exact entry in tcl bugzilla, still I got a hint in #tcl
that there where fixes regarding encodings on Windows).
Test with:
{{{
mkdir "āšņļ"
wish
puts [file isdirectory [tk_chooseDirectory]]
}}}
Wiht current Wingrass included tcl/tk it returns 0 for "āšņļ" directory,
with 8.5.8.1 from ActiveState it returns 1, as it should be.
Tested failure with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r41363 on Windows Vista region set to
Latvia.

Sorry for reporting in wrong place. I will contact this package maintainer
"Martin Landa" and probably he will give exact link etc. info where and
what to report to OSGeo4W, as I have no idea about that. I'm not following
closely Wingrass development and thus had false impression that Wingrass
is packed by GRASS team members and OSGeo4W is an alternate version.

Or better to say you have already contacted him.

Ohrly? Who could guess that...
WinGRASS is compiled in OSGeo4W
