Comment (by davidsarah):

 Oh, I see. {{{simplejson.loads}}} doesn't consistently return the same
 type, it returns either {{{unicode}}} or {{{str}}} depending on its
 version and the phase of the moon. For example,
 {{{
 self.rw_uri = data["rw_uri"]
 }}}
 should be
 {{{
 self.rw_uri = to_str(data["rw_uri"])
 }}}
 where {{{to_str}}} is defined in
 [source:src/allmydata/util/encodingutil.py] (similarly for all the URIs
 read from JSON).
