I think this is unavoidable. Depending on whether you happen to be using a narrow or wide unicode build of Python, \Uxxxxxxxx may be turned into a pair of surrogates anyway. It's not just marshal that's not roundtripping; the utf-8 codec has the same issue (and so does the utf-16 codec I presume). You will have to code around it. I think that the alternative would be more painful in other circumstances.
