This may be related to the recent fix for #2663.

In e1285d2/trunk:

Fix an error-reporting problem in test_welcome (this does not fix the underlying failure). refs ticket:2725

The current failure is at ​https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-tahoe-lafs/builders/Daira%20Win7-64%20py2.7/builds/71/steps/test/logs/stdio (it is not necessarily Unicode-related, that was just a problem when trying to print res_u after the actual test condition had failed).

[daira]

The underlying problem was that allmydata.test.common_util.TimezoneMixin.setTimezone doesn't work on Windows due to lack of time.tzset.
