The problem of the first iterator pair token being discarded is the subject of #8478. Consider that part of this issue as being closed as a duplicate.

The issue of a string being returned if there is no encoding should have been opened as a separate issue, and it was in #16223. I explain there why I think the behavior should be left as is and the docstring changed, and the doc clarified.
