[XML-SIG] XMLPROC: unsupported character number '>255' in character reference

I use the SAX2 implementation bundled with the Python 2.0
distribution to process DocBook/XML documents.

When I turn on validation, "xmlproc" complains
"unsupported character number 'XXXX' in character reference"
for each XXXX larger than 255.

Apparently, "xmlproc" does not yet know that such character
references no longer make problems with the new Python
unicode support.

Is there already a fix? If not, I can look into the problem.
