What does

>>> unicode('foo', 'ascii')

give you?

If you get the same SystemError, then there's something screwy with your
Python installation.  If not, then double check that when you applied
the mailmanctl patch, you are really using it.  This means, stop the
original mailmanctl, re-run configure (or config.status), re-install and
then re-start mailmanctl.
