New issue 1231 by pekka.klarck: Using variables containing non-ASCII byte
strings with other text is not possible
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1231
If you have variable ${var} that has value 'hyv\xe4' and use it as an
argument to a keyword like `Text and ${var}`, the test fails for
UnicodeDecodeError. Using the variable like this elsewhere in the test
data, for example in test or suite documentation, can crash the whole test
execution. Using the variable alone as a keyword argument works fine.
