Reproduced successfully on Python 3.5.2

>>> x = bytearray(1)
>>> y = {}
>>> x % y
Python3.5: bytearray(b'')
Python3.6: bytearray(b'\x00')

also:
>>> bytearray([0,1]) % {} # same with [], (), range(42)
bytearray(b'')
>>> bytearray([1,0]) % {}
bytearray(b'\x01')

Since I was named dropped; it's worth pointing out that this has evidently been fixed - intentionally or otherwise - in 3.6.

It wasn't an issue in 3.4 and earlier because __mod__ wasn't implemented for bytestrings.

Indeed, there is an inconsistency between bytes and bytearray in 3.5:

>>> b'a\0b' % ()
b'a\x00b'
>>> bytearray(b'a\0b') % ()
bytearray(b'a')

It was unintentionally fixed in issue25399.

Proposed patch fixes the issue.
