This issue happens in productive system, too:

Created a user with umlauts to my own domain, did NOT click on the confirmation link, but checked this user via support console: Umlauts are "broken".

A bug was found in the PHP5 configuration of the CAcert webdb server as
described in https://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=1441: "umlauts are not
stored/displayed correctly". This bug actually affects all handling of
non-latin characters by the CAcert application code, and was introduced
by the upgrade of the CAcert chroot application environment from Debian
Wheezy to Debian Jessie on April 16, 2018.

Starting with PHP 5.6, PHP's default character set is set to UTF-8.
This is not what the current CAcert application code expects, so we
need to overrule it with the earlier default "iso-8859-1".
Note that Debian Wheezy contained PHP 5.4.45, while Debian Jessie
contains PHP 5.6.33.

Affected files:
   /home/cacert/etc/php5/mods-available/cacert.ini
   /etc/php5/mods-available/cacert.ini
   /root/chroot/mkchrootenv (also in SVN)

The same changes have been applied to the test.cacert.org and test2.cacert.org
test servers.

Note that new accounts created between April 16, 2018 and June 22, 2018,
may have been affected by this issue. This will be reported as an incident
to support@cacert.org for arbitration and possible further investigation.
