Now I know.

Okay, my answer is that cElementTree (in Python 2.5) is simply
deranged when it comes to Unicode. It assumes everything's ASCII.

Reference: http://codespeak.net/lxml/compatibility.html

(Note that the lxml version also doesn't handle Unicode correctly; it
errors when XML declares its encoding.)

This is unpleasant, but at least now I know WHY it was driving me
insane.
