Isn't normalization also going to be an issue with using non-ASCII in general? Does it mean that Python will have to use a normalization before comparing identifiers as equal? That's terrible, as it will vastly increase the amount needed to hash a string, too.
PEP 3131 addresses this. The tokenizer would normalize identifier tokens to NFC. Because this happens so early, the rest of Python would be unaffected.
