That character (0xfeff) is used at the beginning of a document to
indicate byte-order.  Looks like our assumptions about the encoding of
messages that the backends give us is wrong (we're getting unicode from
the backend, but expecting ascii).  I'm guessing we should check in
utils.uexc whether we already have unicode.
