Comment:
(copying this analysis from the pull request)
Combination of:
* Peculiarities of GNU gettext tools handling of error reporting (via
sdterr)
* The fact that for this test we need to set the `LANG` env var to `"C"`
to ensure such error messages are emitted in English
* Special characteristics of the Windows console regarding handling of
encoding
Makes it hard to portably test for the actual content of the `msgfmt(1)`
error message that includes the culprit Unicode code point, as exercised
by the
`i18n.test_compilation.CompilationErrorHandling.test_msgfmt_error_including_non_ascii`
test.
Proposed solution is to simply drop it but still check for other parts
of the expected error message.
