Does testing include a mixture with a master under 3.x? I only ask since I'd guess that a master under 2.x might be sending parameters down as strings rather than unicode.
I've tested the following combinations of master 3.x <==> worker 2.x, master 2.x <==> worker 3.x:

Oh, I did also peek at the latest twisted source but didn't see any differences in that path at a quick glance (aside from switching from apply() to **kw) that would seem to be able to resolve this, but that's something else I could test.
Yes, that was something in Twisted that was fixed in the past year.
Or I could just move off of 2.6 which I last updated to in 2009 :-)
It looks like you have done more than your fair share of investigation to get things working. Believe me, testing all the permutations and combinations of things is a major pain in the neck.
You have identified the problem, applied a workaround to get things working now, and have identified a path to success moving forward. If you are OK with that, then that is probably good enough.
