Given the existing brokenness I personally think that removing the BOM insertion (because it is incorrect) in 2.7 and 3.2 is fine if you cannot find a way to make it correct in 2.7 and 3.2 without breaking existing APIs.

I have an idea for a change which won't require changing any public APIs; though it does change the behaviour so that BOM insertion doesn't happen any more, anyone who needs a BOM can have it by a simple update to their format string. The idea is outlined here:

Comments would be appreciated.
