If you Google markdown and removeBOM the top hit will be this ticket: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5663#comment:13 That comment, specifically, includes the same exception and traceback as you are showing. I read subsequent discussion in the ticket to be saying that the problem here is the markdown version, it's some pre-Unicode support level that you likely don't want to be using if you need proper Unicode support. Apparently some bits may work (that comment shows passing Unicode working whereas passing a utf-8 encoded bytestring of the same content fails), but the comments from a markdown core dev indicate any semblance of "working" here is likely accidental. Sounds like the easiest fix for you may be to upgrade your markdown to at least 1.7. (I'd also get rid of that save() override that is changing the fields to be utf-8 encoded bytestrings. It's possibly mostly harmless but introduces a difference in type for those fields depending on whether you've called save() on the instance or pulled it from the database, and that could cause some confusion down the road.)
