So, in the end, I have went the long way and bisected cpython to 
find the commit which broke my tests, and it seems that the 
culprit is http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/123f2dc08b3e so it is 
clearly something Unicode related.

Unfortunately, it really doesn't tell me what exactly is broken 
(is it a known regression) and if there is known workaround.  
Could anybody suggest a way how to find bugs on 
http://bugs.python.org related to some particular commit (plain 
search for 123f2dc0 didn’t find anything).

Any thoughts?

P.S.: Crossposting to python-devel in hope there would be 
somebody understanding more about that particular commit. For 
that I have also intentionally not trim the original messages to 
preserve context.
