"purge" suggests removal, not replacement. That may be useful too.
neutralize_surrogate_escapes(s, remove=False, replacement='\uFFFD')
How about:
replace_surrogate_escapes(s, replacement='\uFFFD')
If you want them removed, just pass an empty string as the replacement.
maybe? (Of course the remove argument is feature creep, so I'm only
about +0.5 myself. And the name is long, but I can't think of any
better synonyms for "make safe" in English right now).

I think it would be preferable to be unicodely correct here by
default, since this is a str -> str function.
