UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: ordinal
not in range(128)
Remove the compression ('|gz') or remove the unicode name or run under Python 3
and the command completes without error.
The error does not occur under Python 3 (even with non-ascii characters), so it
should be possible to create a tarfile with a unicode filename on Python 2.7.
This failure is the underlying cause of #11638.
