My guess would be that your xterm font can handle swedish characters,
while your console font cannot.  Do other programs also act like this?

I looked on http://www.linuxdoc.org, and from the Belgian HOWTO
(couldn't find a Swedish HOWTO (maybe you should write one), and the
Belgian seemed to be the only non-English-language-HOWTO written in
English), 

  Using the ISO-8859-1 font in console                          
                                      
   You can load the ISO-8859-1 font by typing the following in console:
        setfont lat1u-16.psf                                           
        mapscrn trivial     
        echo -ne '\033(K'
