Yes, now it's clear.
MK-BUTTON expects a Lisp string, being decent Lisp function, not some
FFI abomination ;)
So the solution is to place (sb-ext:string-to-octets "foo äöüß bar"
:external-format :utf-8) deeper, between MK-BUTTON and GTK-BUTTON-SET-LABEL.
As I used extensively only FFI part of cells-gtk, I didn't have to do it.

Good luck,
Dmitri
