I had a similar issue in the past with the acceptance tests.
Some VMs send UTF-8 output in their console and the acceptance test
script would bail out if the locale was not UTF-8.
I sent a patch on the ml but it probably got lost:

I can re-spin it if you guys are interested

When decodetree.py was added in commit 568ae7efae7, QEMU was
using Python 2 which happily reads UTF-8 files in text mode.
Python 3 requires either UTF-8 locale or an explicit encoding
passed to open(). Now that Python 3 is required, explicit
UTF-8 encoding for decodetree sources.
This fixes:
$ /usr/bin/python3 scripts/decodetree.py test.decode
