This isn't a bug in system-image; I've been seeing this traceback in other contexts but now that this has been reported here I'll have to dig into it in more detail. FTR, I found it while working on dirtbike, the test suite of which manipulates packages in a chroot. What I discovered there is that the chroot had POSIX locale and an .egg-info file was being parsed that contained non-ascii characters (latin-1 in a person's name). I worked around this by ensuring the chroot had en_US.UTF-8 locale.
Something's changed though since this is a new bug affecting multiple packages. For now I'm going to retarget it to setuptools (pkg_resources) and will investigate further.
