Umlaut in real name on initial blog creation doesn't work

When I create a blog and enter my name ("Hanno Böck") as the real name serendipity cuts it to "Hanno B" (meaning it ignores the special char / german umlaut ö and everything behind).
I can later edit the user and give it the correct name, so this only happens on installation. Everything is UTF-8, so this shouldn't happen.

Is this in 2.x or even in 1.x?

Sorry, I forgot to tell, this happens both in latest 1.7 and 2.0 beta.

Yeah, the problem is the installer doesn't properly utilize UTF-8 at this point, because the charset/lang variables are only properly initialized after installation. We'll need to figure this out at some point... :-/
