I am trying to convert older code that uses ftplib as the endpoint has switched

Well with real sftp I can cd to that path so if it is a symlink it goes
somewhere.
With pysftp I am unable to chdir or cd into it. With a bit of
difficulty I can use subprocess + sshpass + sftp to do the required
transfer.
Maybe, the problem is the "u" prefix.
Can you try your script with Python 3 or encode the unicode
into a native ``str``?
no same happens in a fresh python 3.6 environment
$ cat - > tsftp.py
def main():
import pysftp
with pysftp.Connection('ftp.remote.com', username='me', password='ucl20
11') as sftp:
print('top level')
print(sftp.listdir())
print(sftp.normalize('XXXX'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
(tpy3) rptlab@app1:~/tmp/tpy3
$ python tsftp.py

this is what real sftp does
