The testsuite sets LC_ALL=C and (from atlocal.in)
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf_8. That might be the difference.

There's a lot of weirdness around python and encodings that varies from
version to version and from one Python configuration to the next. Did
you try this on a non-XenServer system too, say Ubuntu? Also you might
want to try on the Arch distro (I think that's Ethan uses) because I
seem to recall that it uses one of the oddball Python configurations
that has caused trouble in the past.
Thanks,
Ben.
