OS X 10.11.2(15C50)
Python : sys.version_info(major=3, minor=5, micro=0, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

I want U+1F576 Sunglasses!
But this test.py won't worked.

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from lxml import html, etree

print("%-20s: %s" % ('Python', sys.version_info))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('lxml.etree', etree.LXML_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxml used', etree.LIBXML_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxml compiled', etree.LIBXML_COMPILED_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxslt used', etree.LIBXSLT_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxslt compiled', etree.LIBXSLT_COMPILED_VERSION))

uni = "<p>Unicode! \U0001F576 Sunglasses!</p>"
#t = html.fragment_fromstring(uni) # XXX: lxml.etree.ParserError: Document is empty
t = etree.fromstring(uni, parser=etree.XMLParser(encoding='unicode'))
print("B", etree.tostring(t))
print("U", etree.tostring(t, encoding='unicode'))
```

I'm running into the same problem, but can verify that the same code works with Python 2.7.10, which should hopefully help narrow it down a little… :)

I also experience this bug with these version numbers, although the error message is a bit more helpful.

Example code works for me on Linux.
