Comment (by Aniruddha Maru):
Tim, it's really straightforward: we have browser based API documentation,
and unicode data. Since json supports utf-8 encoding, it's pretty standard
to always return unicode, rather than have an encode-decode cycle.
Here's some more context of other people who've talked about this bug:

Django rest framework also offers a flag to disable this behavior:
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/settings/#unicode_json,
which is enabled by default.
