Yes, that was what I meant - except that it shouldn't just be Lorem 
Ipsum, but  some name that contains non-ascii characters, as yours does. 
Then we'll know that the problem is properly fixed.  At the moment the 
fix you have put in is not really tested.

make_encoded_stringio looks ok to me but other people might have 
comments.  John?
