Unless I'm misunderstanding something, couldn't you implement what you need by looking in a given string for the half surrogates? If you find one, you have a string python-escape modified, if you don't, it didn't.

What does Tahoe do on Windows when it gets a filename that is not valid Unicode? You might not even have to conditionalize the above code on platform (ie: instead you have a generalized is_valid_unicode test function that you always use).
