if someone, with hopefully better abilities than mine, can investigate the issue
I think these links can be of help
There is a difference between getting a value from the request or from
request.form when unicode is involved (maurits.vanrees)

the text widget uses request and not
request.form. So I added a piece of code to copy values from
request.form to request.(Jean-Pascal Houde)

While we are here, let's fix a possible unicode error. There is a
difference between getting a value from the request or from
request.form when unicode is involved:

>>> request.form.get('SearchableText')
u'\xff'
>>> request.get('SearchableText')
'\xc3\xbf'

In the method zope.app.form.browser.textwidgets.TextWidget._getFormInput()
the value is fetched from the request and not request.form. So you get
a UnicodeDecodeError. We need to guard against that:

def setUpWidgets(self, ignore_request=False):
    """From zope.formlib.form.Formbase.
    """
    self.adapters = {}
    fieldnames = [x.__name__ for x in self.form_fields]
    data = {}
    for key in fieldnames:
        value = self.request.form.get(key)
        if value is not None and not value == u'':
            data[key] = value
            self.request[key] = value

    self.widgets = setUpWidgets(
        self.form_fields, self.prefix, self.context, self.request,
        form=self, adapters=self.adapters, ignore_request=ignore_request,
        data=data)
