Comment (by mtredinnick):
I suspect there's something Windows-specific going on here, possibly with
respect to the native system encoding or possibly the behaviour of
msgmerge or maybe something else. I cannot repeat this problem on Linux.
Somebody with a Windows box who can repeat this problem will need to debug
this. Probably by printing `repr(msgs)` at each step throughout
`django/core/management/command/makemessages.py` to see where the problem
occurs. If at all possible, I would like to avoid having to use
`codecs.open()` in that file, since that might restrict the portability of
that tool to places like Jython, IronPython, PyPy, etc. It also shouldn't
make a difference, since writing to the filesystem should not be magically
re-encoding the bytes we are writing out.
I do notice that line 156 of `makemessages.py` doesn't open for writing in
`wb` mode (just `w` mode), although I don't think that should be making a
difference on the encoding of the written data.
So this needs somebody who can confirm it (and/or provide a repeatable
test case, since the one in the bug description doesn't seem to be enough
to repeat it for me) and maybe somebody on Windows to work out what's
going wrong there.
