Summary: [AST] assert failure on ``eval("u'\Ufffffffe'")``

Initial Comment:
Isolated the failure of test_unicode to be because of
the test of ``eval("u'\Ufffffffe'")``.  What is odd is
that the Unicode string works fine as a literal at the
intepreter prompt.  Somehow eval() is triggering this
problem.
