I'm sorry. It was not my /etc/passwd that caused the error, it is 

,----
| (setq user-full-name "Maximilian Matthé")
`----

in ~/.gnus.el . Nethertheless it's annoying. If I change the é to e it
works fine. And if I save .gnus.el in Iso-8859-15 the error still comes
up (I checked in hexl-mode that the é is encoded as one byte, e9).

So I think this is more a bug from gnus and not emacs. I will post my
issue at the gnus-list.

Very much thanks for your advice!
