It seems you've triggered two different bugs on btsutils:
If the bug was marked as forwarded somewhere whose address contains
non-ASCII characters (such as #63389), the call to python's unicode() on
such string on the bug's object setForwarded() fails.
It then fall back to the html backend as it causes an exception on the
SOAP backend. Unfortunately it seems that the HTML backend is broken,
most likely by changes in the structure of the pages on debbugs.
A quick workaround on the first bug is to add another parameter,
"iso-8859-1", on the unicode() call, but I'll have to investigate
further to see if debbugs is really consistent on the encoding of
non-ascii characters.
