I disagree. The current decoder implementation is clearly incorrect: the unicode-escape encoding only uses bytes < 128. So decoding non-ascii bytes should fail. So the examples in msg217021 should all give UnicodeDecodeErrors.

As this is an incompatible change, we need to deprecate the current behavior for 3.5, and change it in 3.6.
