Python/Rhinoscriptsyntax - some kind of funky unicode error?

I am getting an error in the rs.CheckListBox() method, and it seems to be some kind of weird unicode problem.

Here is the test script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

names=["Default","0","Existant"]
#names=["Default","0","Existant","à démolir"]
name_list=[(name,False) for name in names]
print name_list
msg="Pick an item"
CLB=rs.CheckListBox(name_list,msg)
for item in CLB:
   if item[1]: print "Chosen: {}".format(item[0])

Which runs OK. Now uncomment line #7 (the one that has the list with 2 accented characters) and run it again.

It errors out with
"Message: Unable to translate bytes [E0] at index 0 from specified code page to Unicode."

Now these are standard accented characters, notably typed with à = Alt+0224 and é = Alt+0233 . Normally they are accepted as long as I have the

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

at the top of the script. So what is going on here?

Note that the print name_list line also spits out this:

[('Default', False), ('0', False), ('Existant', False), (u'\xe0 d\xe9molir', False)]

Is this some sort of bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, --Mitch
