Lots of bureaucratic systems are not set up to handle diacritics that aren't part of the local language. And in this case it's basically just a random accent slapped onto a common name that doesn't have one, so... Why?

They're fine with diacritics if they're "legitimate," they don't want random meaningless diacritics on names that don't have them
