I tried your advice and switched Terminal.app to utf8:

[michi@localhost]~$ echo $LANG
de_DE.utf8
[michi@localhost]~$ gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext) 0.10.40

So "export LANG=de_DE.utf8" doesn't help (there are two errors "?" in this
text), but it seems to be a general MacOS X gettext problem and not GPG
specific.
