This conclusion is false:
1. it is 7-bit
py> unichr(913).encode("iso-2022-jp")
'\x1b$B&!\x1b(B'
2. the except *will* trigger, anyway.
py> unichr(913).encode("ascii")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0391' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
This issue doesn't get noticed, because it doesn't hurt today's email
readers and MTAs to process 8-bit MIME, even if 7-bit had been
sufficient.
HTH,

P.S. Notice that Tokio's original patch had the spelling right.
