New submission from tierlieb:

Within locale.py in setlocale your have this piece of code:

    if locale and type(locale) is not type(""):
        # convert to string
        locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale))

That does not work with unicode strings as I found out after wondering quite a 
bit about the difference was between my tests and my production code...

So either expand the check here to include type(u"") or make _build_localename 
smarter.
