.. Although I haven't reviewed this
patch yet, I find the naming of the `ustr` variable confusing -- e.g. is
it a bytes object or a unicode object?

There is no `ustr` variable , you  probably mean  `uarg`.   If so, it  is not introduced by the patch.   To me the patch looks straightforward and correct, but a unit test should be added.  Some additional refactoring is due for getargs.c (does py3k support builds without Py_USING_UNICODE?), but the bug fix should not wait for that.
