Yes, it is strange. I have tried to duplicate this, and I don't see it.

Does this occur with the admin login only, or also with admindb login?
And is private archive login OK?

In your original post, you say you checked all the stuff I would
suggest, and it all seems right. I can only think of two other things.

1) Is it possible there is an 'old' version of this page cached in your
browser or a proxy? (I know that's a stretch, but ...)

2) It is possible for the template text to be coerced to Unicode during
interpolation if any of the interpolated values are Unicode strings,
or if interpolation throws a UnicodeError exception. It's hard to see
how these exceptions might occur if the template isn't broken. Is
there an edited template in any of

lists/<listname>/hu/admlogin.html
templates/<list.host_name>/hu/admlogin.html
templates/site/hu/admlogin.html
