In Python 2 string literals are allowed to contain non-ascii characters. In Python 3 bytes literals can contains only ascii characters, non-ascii characters should be escaped with \xXX. However 2to3 doesn't change b'...' literals and produces illegal code.

I propose new fixer which escapes non-ascii bytes in bytes literals. Here is a patch (without tests yet).
