Yes it does. But I think that nobody relies on this bug. If your terminal uses something that utf-8, you will see strange characters if you write something else than ascii characters. I supopse that anybody facing this problem uses a workaround like replacing sys.stdout object, encode manually each string with the right encoding or something else.
