As discussed on IRC: Mac OS X deny the creation of a directory with an invalid utf8 name. The test should be skipped on Mac OS X (sys.platform == 'darwin').

Fixed by r80163: move the test to a new function and skip the function on Mac.

afaict, it needs backport to 2.7.

afaict, it needs backport to 2.7.

Right: r81135 (and r81137).

Blocked on 2.6 (it doesn't have the non-ASCII path test): r81139.
