It's not a bug. As per documentation:
If you provide content_type (e.g. text/xml for an XML payload),
the contents of data will be sent *as-is* in the POST request, using
content_type in the HTTP Content-Type header.
This means that you're responsible for proper encoding the data
parameter into string/bytes. Otherwise Django will just cast the data
to bytes.
