Research direction
Reproduce the issue on LMDE7 with Cinnamon 6.6.9, keeping English as the only installed language, and test desktop folders whose names contain ö, ä, or ü. Trace the desktop folder-opening path and compare it with an ASCII-named folder. Done means these folders open normally under the reported language setup.
