Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

0xD800 does not represent a valid Unicode character; it's a surrogate code 
point (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapping_of_Unicode_characters#Surrogates).  If you 
use a code point that does represent a Unicode character, say 0xA800, there is 
no error.  If there is a bug here, it's that the Python 2 version does not 
report an error for this edge case.
