Comment (by cmlenz):

 So, it seems like this problem has only been reproduced when running as
 CGI under Windows as of yet.

 The difference between `Te%C3%9Ft` and `Te%DFt` is that the first is
 encoded in UTF-8 (which requires two bytes for a "ß"), while the second
 is encoded using some 8-bit charset, probably ISO-8859-15.


 I don't understand why this doesn't work. The CGI receives the `PATH_INFO`
 in the URL-encoded form. It is then "unquoted" using Python's `urllib`,
 basically recreating the byte string. The resulting string is then simply
 assumed to be UTF-8 by Trac.
