menuentrys with special or non-ASCII chars aren't displayed

[Felix Zielcke]

When a menuentry contains any character different from [-a-zA-Z] the
menuentry isn't shown at all, even when gfxterm + unicode.pf2 is used.
Is there any reason why this is done?

On Launchpad there is a bug report open that grub2 can't anymore by
default show chinese characters (because of unicode.pff -> ascii.pff
switch) and now another one about the not shown menuentrys.
So for them it seems it is somehow important.
