You are converting Unicode to a string then back to Unicode. PyQt tries (not 
very hard) to find a Python codec matching the current Qt codec and falls 
back to the default Python codec. This is obviously going wrong at some 
point, but I'm not surprised.

Did you do something similar with PyQt3? Did you try with both 3.15.1 and the 
current PyQt3 snapshot?
