collapse_rfc2231_value unquotes the value before returning it except here: rawbytes = bytes(text, 'raw-unicode-escape') return str(rawbytes, charset, errors) Why is the text not unquoted in this case? Actually I wonder whether the function should do any unquoting at all. There is at least one case where it is called with an already unquoted value (get_boundary, see issue28945). But if it is intended to do unquoting, it should be consistent.
