Description

This bug is related to #8410 but occurs under different conditions in the current daily build (git20130810). It can be reproduced by the following steps:

1. Add a valid plugin repository with some unicode characters in its title (e.g. 'ф')
2. Right-click on the repository and choose 'Only show plugins from the selected repository'

The above steps result in an error message (below):

An error occured during execution of following code:
pyplugin_installer.instance().setRepositoryInspectionFilter('ф')

Traceback (most recent call last):
