Ouch!
Do the rejected characters qualify as identifier characters as defined in Reference 2.3 Identifiers and keywords?
http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers
If some interpreter version accepts extra characters, beyond the definition (as happened in 2.x), it is not a bug for for another version to only accept what is defined.

Side question: That section has "A non-normative HTML file listing all valid identifier characters for Unicode 4.1 can be found at http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html." Is the set of identifier characters now larger, and if so, has the table been enlarged?
