Comment (by vbraun):

 Mix & matching byte string and unicode mostly works if you are willing to
 ignore the !UnicodeWarning ;-)

 I agree that the doctest code can see arbitrary binary data (including
 UTF-8) right now as anything might be printed by the code being tested.
 Its possible (but unlikely) that some of the non-ascii garbage will be
 translated into `<ESC-?>` by this patch. So what? The end goal should be
 unicode + 100% coverage of ansi control sequences, and this patch is
 closer to that goal than leaving out some random control sequences because
 they aren't used much.
