When using unicode kwargs in a function call, the keyword is received as a str type in the function:

>>> def func(*vargs, **kwargs):
...   print "vargs=%r  kwargs=%r" % (vargs, kwargs)
...
>>> func(u'\u20ac', **{u'\u20ac': 42})
vargs=(u'\u20ac',)  kwargs={'\u20ac': 42}
>>>

Expected behavior: unicode kwargs should be of type unicode in the function.

Indeed, this is a serious discrepancy on the face of it:

$ python test_unicode.py
vargs=(u'\u20ac',)  kwargs={u'\u20ac': 42}

$ jython27 jbaker$ jython27 test_unicode.py
vargs=(u'\u20ac',)  kwargs={'\u20ac': 42}

Blocker for beta 4

Now fixed, likely as part of https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/1b83af91c320 (our unit tests covered this case, simply add to ensure we were not skipping)
