I just ran the test suite ("python -m test") on OS X 10.6.8 with 'decode_utf8_5.patch' applied.  (64-bit --with-pydebug build of Python.)  No test failures.


test header:

== CPython 3.3.0a3+ (default:840cb46d0395+, May 9 2012, 20:55:18) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)]
==   Darwin-10.8.0-i386-64bit little-endian
==   /Users/mdickinson/Python/cpython/build/test_python_39794

Fragment of configure output relevant to wchar looked like this:

checking wchar.h usability... yes
checking wchar.h presence... yes
checking for wchar.h... yes
checking size of wchar_t... 4
checking for UCS-4 tcl... no
checking whether wchar_t is signed... yes
no usable wchar_t found
