I have a certificate where the Common Name is "Per Mørkegård Hansen". When I
want to make a backup file from Preferences/Privacy &
Security/Certificates/Manage Certificates, and after having entered the master
password, given a backup password twice and entered a filename, I get the error
message "Failed to create the PKCS #12 backup file for unknown reasons."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a certificate that contains "ø" or "å" in the common name
2. Go to Preferences/Privacy & Security/Certificates/Manage Certificates and
click on the certificate
3. Click on "Backup"
4. Enter the master password
5. Enter the backup password twice
6. Enter the backup filename


Actual Results:  
An error message pop up with the message "Failed to create the PKCS #12 backup
file for unknown reasons."

Expected Results:  
Create the backup file of the certificate.

I think I've seen some misuse of '*WithConversion' (and friends) in
certificate-related code, but not sure where.
