Answer: probably in the publisher somewhere.

The root of this was "my bad", but I'm documenting it here for poor 
unfortunate souls in the future...

Since Zope 3's i18n stuff returns unicode, you need to be ultra careful 
that the rest of your ZPT generates either 7-bit ascii or unicode.

In my case, I was inserting the utf-8 encoded title of a document into a 
generated navigator...

*sigh*

Python's unicode error messages could be a little more helpful...
