As a short-term solution, this is probably adequate, but there's
information loss -- it'd be nice to indicate the original byte sequence
somehow in the log entry by escaping characters so that log analysis
tools could detect such attacks, etc.

Perhaps the right answer is to log the URI with proper URL-encoding, so
that it would be logged as %1B instead of the literal byte.
