Comment(by richard):

 I've been taking a look at this - I believe the problem is caused by Swig
 attempting to modify the exception message to add "Swig director method
 error." to the end of it.  I'm not entirely sure why Swig is doing this,
 but the attempt fails in this case because the constructor of the
 exception type (UnicodeDecodeError) is called with a single argument, but
 requires 5.  Hence, the error which you're seeing.

 I'll continue to investigate.
