This causes test_doctest2.py from 2.4 and above to fail.

The underlying issue is described on
<http://www.nabble.com/Parsing-and-non-ASCII-Input-td19007415.html> and
a minimal failing test is:

>>> eval(u"'f\xf6\xf6'")
'f\xf6\xf6'
>>> eval(u"'b\u0105r'")
'b?r' 

[You should get back exactly what you feed to eval()]

I was wrong on the last example on the previous test: as \u0105 can't be
encoded on a single byte, it should give back the following:

In [1]: eval(u"'b\u0105r'")
Out[1]: 'b\xc4\x85r'

A required step to fix this issue was committed on r5542. 

Now instead of. 

>>> eval(u"'b\u0105r'")
'b?r' 

We get:

>>> eval(u"'b\u0105r'")
'b\u0105r'
