Drupal's core Profile module doesn't use machine names for groups and they allow any text for the Profile Category names.

Disappointed by how profile_migrate converted core Profile categories to machine names I decided to add more robust auto-machine-naming functionality in the case that the Category had non-standard ASCII characters. This addition adds support for Unicode transliteration via the transliterate module.

Patch in the first comment.

Note that categories can be converted to either for fieldgroups or new node-types, depending on which setting you choose. This should work for both cases, creating cleaner machine names for cck node types and fieldgroups.

Thanks! You saved me a lot of time. Your code worked like a charm, although the 4th hunk failed and I had to apply it by hand..
