I think I've got it: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/1600

It's a regular annoyance that io.open takes its default encoding from
the locale, rather than just using utf-8. Of course, for all of us on
Linux or Mac, our locale specifies UTF-8 anyway, so we don't notice. I
guess Matthias' cron job runs with an ascii locale, which reveals the
problem.
