New submission from Paul Monson <paulm...@gmail.com>:

Windows desktop skus have a default ANSI codepage (returned by GetACP()) of 
1252 (Western European).  Windows IoT Core and Windows Nano Server have a 
default codepage of 65001 (UTF-8). 

This causes test_site.StartupImportTests.test_startup_imports to fail on 
Windows IoT Core and Windows Nano Server because cp65001.py is loaded instead 
of the frozen cp1252.py at startup.

I tried changing the default codepage to 65001 on my dev machine and rebuilding 
Python and it had no effect that I could tell on the generated frozen 
importlibs.

The simplest solutions would be for the test_startup_imports test to be skipped 
or changed to pass when the locale.getpreferredencoding() returns 'cp65001'
