I saw that too, but thought it must have been my fault.

It might well be the only file that actually uses the pep263 stuff to
affect the interpretation of a unicode string.  That would seem to be
the place to start looking -- though it imports & compiles file when
run as part of the test suite...

Hmm...

>>> exec open("../Lib/test/test_pep263.py").read()

sigh, that was one easy guess.
