I spoke to showard on #autotest yesterday for some guidance on getting to the traceback that wasn't being display from the RPC handler. It seems he has a fix in to make is much easier to identify failures during this area of job processing in the future.

However, I've asked if there are any additional areas in the RPC Handler that might be susceptible to utf-8 issues.
I think I know why unicode files are not handled well. Look at this http://pastie.org/777979 and notice the first 3 added lines. They are added before the charset declaration which effectively negates it.
This 3 lines are added by autotest-server I believe, so the fix must be made there.
