Can you please provide an example of data for which the tostring method fails?
I can't reproduce this on simple data.
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
ET.tostring(ET.XML('rootbq/bwerty/root'), method='text',
encoding='unicode')
'qwerty'

I found such example. It happens when the data contains XML entity.
ET.tostring(ET.XML('rootaamp;/root'), method='text',
encoding='unicode')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module

Frank added the comment:
It happens whenever the method is called, regardless of input. I'm using HTML
that has been tidied first with HTML entities (if any) converted to unicode
values.

Scratch that, it happens whenever there are XML entities (lt;, quot; and
friends) that are appearing the text as you pointed out.

New submission from Frank:
Since upgrading to python 3.3 the tostring method fails when the output method
is requested as text. Code like this:
with open(fp, mode='rt') as f:
data = f.read()
tree, idmap = ET.XMLID(data)
print(ET.tostring(tree, method='text', encoding='unicode'))
