Which python interpreter is repoman using? Check `head -n1 /usr/bin/repoman` to find out. Also, please post the output of `locale`.

Does it work with the same commit message if you don't use the -m argument and do it through $EDITOR instead?

If you don't use -m then it will automatically call $EDITOR.
It works with editor but not with "-m"
I'm going to close this one as obsolete. There have been so many unicode handling improvements. Plus you have a newer bug 562108 for this same problem.
For the -m option, we could use surrogateescape shenanigans like we do in bin/install.py.
