Why do you say that it uses ascii? It uses whatever encoding the string
returned by get_contact uses. See the attached P1-1.0.tar.gz for an
example. This doesn't use ASCII, and doesn't use UTF-8, and works with
2.4.

That would work - although I fail to see what this has to do with
a failing unicode(field). Instead, it has rather to do with a failing
.write().
