Jakub Wilk added the comment:
With a slightly adapted test case, I see the same behavior in Python 3.3.3.
Perhaps it would be worth fixing the bug in Python 3.4?

New submission from Jakub Wilk:
I created a Python file which contained a non-UTF-8 string literal (but no
Unicode literals), and added UTF-8 encoding declaration to it. I expected
that Python will raise SyntaxError when importing such module, but it doesn't:
$ python --version
Python 2.7.6

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:
Yes, this is a silly bug where we shortcut decoding of utf-8 files by not
checking if its valid UTF-8. However, this behavior has been around for a long
time, so I'm not going to change it in 2.7.x.
