there seems to be an answer here:
http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2011/09/notes-sqlalchemy-w-pyodbc-freetds-ubuntu/
for an almost exact problem, changing the tds_version number seemed to
help them. since I connected from a windows machine while you are
doing this from a linux machine like the url I provided.

If this doesn't work think about seperating the tg db (for auth,user
etc) from the mssql. and configure tg to use 2 databases.

I should also check on the created tg_user table what is the column
encoding on  the display_name column? what is the table encoding/
collation.
