What you considered a workaround is actually what you should be using faced with BOM bytes. This is a broader issue in Python, not necessarily connected with ConfigParser or any other library. Also, this has been already reported here:

http://bugs.python.org/issue7519

For the UTF-8 BOM context please see:

http://bugs.python.org/issue7651

To solve the actual problem we should really do something about that last issue.

If you have any further questions, please ask. If not, I will close this issue.
