The buildbot user probably has different locale settings. I can simulate the failure with: I'd find that very surprising: the buildslave is running as the same user I am running the test under, and the LANG is enUS.UTF-8 -- the default. Granted, the slave's running under launchd, and so is launching twisted with the tac directly -- but I can't see any part of that process which would cause the default LANG to change.

I edited the launchd config to force LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" and the test suddenly passes, which is good. I have no idea why the LANG would end up different when the app is launched from launchd -- even though it was running as the same user as I was doing the testing against -- but, apparently, it was.

But, issue4388 and issue9992 seem to already be in, and I commented on them.

Thanks for the help in figuring this out. :)
