That is actually a regression in 3.x:

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Mar  8 2009, 11:36:21) 
>>> import os
>>> open("x","w").close()
>>> open(b"\xff","w").close()
>>> os.listdir(".")
['x', '\xff']

[Apologies if that was completely clear through the entire discussion, but
I've lost track at a given point.]
