Yes, indeed, the host name contained cyrillics. I changed it, and the
problem disappeared.
I think, the host name was automatically generated by the system
(sounded like "user-pc" in Russian). That means the problem may be
rather common, and it makes sense to encode hostname in UTF-8 before
using as lock text.
Thanks a lot for pointing that out!
