[issue21927] BOM appears in stdin when using Powershell

New submission from Jason R. Coombs:
Consider this simple example in Powershell (Windows 8.1):
C:\Users\jaraco> cat .\print-input.py
import sys
print(next(sys.stdin))
C:\Users\jaraco> echo foo | .\print-input.py
foo
The BOM (byte order mark) appears in the standard input stream. When using cmd.exe, the BOM is not present. This behavior occurs in CP1252 as well as CP65001.
I suspect that Python should be detecting/stripping and possibly honoring the BOM when decoding input on stdin.
This issue is present in Python 3.4.0 and Python 3.4.1. I have not tested other Python versions.
