@Colin,

this seems to me a duplicate of bug 44595. If these ones can be identified just by the backtrace, I will search and mark the rest.

manu: Yes, that looks pretty plausible, thanks. See my comment in that bug (with appropriate language substitutions). I've marked a couple as duplicates already.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Looking for UnicodeDecodeError at the end of the traceback should be a good enough marker.
