Uh, I can reproduce it just fine on Fedora 11, and OS X too. These
are running python 2.6 and 2.6.1 respectively ... maybe the behavior
is python version dependent?

As far as I can tell, PLyObject_ToDatum is invoking PLyUnicode_Str and
then PyString_AsString, and what it gets back from the latter is
(in C string notation) "\200\0". Possibly what this means is that
python thinks that that is the correct LATIN2 representation of
\u0080.
