Possibly, but note that your app also thinks this URL that has been
requested is valid and supported by your app. You don't get NoReverseMatch
exceptions from forward URL resolution. Rather, the requested URL has
resulted in URL resolution finding a view to call to produce a page in
response. It is that view (or code it calls) that is attempting a reverse
url lookup for blog-month-archives with the listed arguments.
Is there any way we can stop this from happening? I only

This is a wild guess, but it looks like you may have one urlpattern entry
that allows a broad range of values in one element, but then that element is
specified as an argument to a reverse call for a blog-month-archives that
has a more restrictive pattern governing what is acceptable for at least one
(I'd guess the second one, where the value contains a unicode character) of
its arguments.
