Short answer

the test shouldn't be using u'\xb5' (µ) but a different character.  I prefer:
 alpha == α == u'\u03b1'

It cannot be encoded into iso-8859-{1,2,15}, but it is a decent unicode
character that doesn't have normalization issues.

I'll give a longer answer in another reply. But at the moment, I'm just
frustrated with the issue, and try to avoid it whenever possible.
