[New-bugs-announce] [issue18324] set_payload does not handle binary payloads correctly

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

In order to maintain model consistency without exposing the need for 'surrogateescape' to library users, it should be possible to pass binary data to set_payload and have it do the correct conversion to the expected storage format for the model.  Currently, this does not work.  The attached patch provides one example test out of a class of tests that should be written and made to pass.
