Uh, actually, it works if you specify re.UNICODE. If you don't, the
getlower() function in _sre.c falls back to the plain ASCII algorithm.

>>> pat = re.compile('Á', re.IGNORECASE | re.UNICODE)
>>> pat.match('á')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7c66c28>
>>> pat.match('Á')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7c66cd0>

I wonder if re.UNICODE shouldn't be the default in Py3k, at least when
the pattern is a string and not a bytes object. There may also be a
re.ASCII flag for those cases where people want to fallback to the old
behaviour.
