‘bzr shell’ has different terminal encoding from ‘bzr’

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

=====
$ bzr shell
bzr foo:11/> commit --message "Clean compiled bytecode files in ‘clean’ target."  
Unhandled error:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 33: ordinal not in range(128)

$ bzr commit --message "Clean compiled bytecode files in ‘clean’ target."

Apparently ‘bzr shell’ has got the wrong codec somehow: it is wrongly
using the 'ascii' codec and thus fails with UTF-8 characters, while
the same characters directly from the shell (in the same terminal
session) to a ‘bzr commit’ work fine.
