The GUI is correct, for the time being.
The additional letters in the Nordic alphabets are not valid in domain names as of now. However, that is scheduled to
change quite soon. The international standard to be applied has been agreed upon and it now looks as if these letters will be allowed
before the end of this year.
Thus, what seems like a bug now really isn't but will be soon...
