As it turns out submitting any Non-ASCII characters in any form from any browser (for example changing a user's name to contain Cyrillic characters) results in the same error on GAE with MySQL (haven't tried with data store).
Any sql statement containing Non-ASCII characters returns the same error message: "has type str, but isn't in 7-bit ASCII encoding. Non-ASCII strings must be converted to unicode objects before being added." This error seems to proceed from the Google Python protobuf library. http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/source/browse/trunk/python/google/protobuf/pyext/python-proto2.cc?r=395 Haven't found the same error message anywhere else.
