Therefore, as you imply, I think the solution to this issue is to start the process of deprecating the bytes version of the api in py3k with a view to removing it completely - possibly with a less aggressive timeline than normal. In Python 2.7, I think documenting the issue and a recommendation to always use unicode is sufficient (ie, we can't deprecate it and a new BytesWarning seems gratuitous.)

I wrote a patch to implement the deprecation: http://bugs.python.org/issue13374
