I've a server running Red Hat Satellite 6.1.6. This issue does not seem to reproduce there. I can use å,ä or ö as surname attribute. This caused the server to crash before.
Seems this was solved in 6.1.6 per comment #7. Moving to ON_QA for verification.
Verified in Satellite 6.2 Beta RC. Organization, Location, and User names all contained non-ascii characters. Everything functioning properly. As a side not, you can no longer create an Organization with non-ascii characters in the label.
