How weird, I just checked that again:
master at digitus:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
[...]
LC_ALL=

and:
ls /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF*
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz

So I added export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 to /etc/init/mythtv-backend.config.

It now looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------
# MythTV Backend service

description     "MythTV Backend"
author          "Mario Limonciello <superm1 at ubuntu.com>"

export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo and started udev-finish)
stop on starting shutdown

#expect fork
respawn

exec /usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
--user mythtv
---------------------------------------------------

I restarted for good measure and nothing changed.
Still no videos with Umlaut in the storage group but I can see and
play them in the non-storage-group directory.

Anything else I can do?
