Python picked up the ability to have source files in various encodings in PEP 263, a feature Jython hasn't acquired yet. As part of PEP 263, if the file starts with the Unicode BOM it should be interpreted as being in utf-8. Jython chokes when it sees the BOM which causes several failures in test_builtin. Those tests are commented out for now as explained in http://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonDeveloperGuide/VersionTransitionTestExclusions
