Comment (by itamarst):

 Ah, so:

 In order to workaround problems in Python 3's decision about whether
 something is bytes or unicode, we implement a heuristic that says "if the
 'name' MIME field of the upload was 'file', assume it's bytes."

 And my guess is that heuristic isn't good enough for all clients, so we
 need some more aggressive heuristic. I guess we could just say "it's
 always bytes"? But that might break some other bits, like the web UI.
