Summary: Encoding error while processing [[en:Chişinău]]

Initial Comment:
I'm almost sure this is not a bug so I'm putting it here in Support Requests.
When I try to process the page [[en:Chişinău]] (with bot account on 'en'), I get the following result:

X:\>interwiki.py -lang:en Chi%C5%9Fin%C4%83u

Checked for running processes. 2 processes currently running, including the curr
ent process.
Getting 1 pages from wikipedia:en...
[[Chisinau]]: [[en:Chisinau]] gives new interwiki [[lt:Kisiniovas]]
[[Chisinau]]: [[en:Chisinau]] gives new interwiki [[lv:Kisineva]]

(...output ommited deliberately...)

======Post-processing [[en:Chisinau]]======
Updating links on page [[en:Chisinau]].

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 28-34: character maps to <undefined>
================

I belive it's an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence somewhere in the page but I'd like someone more experienced to verify this.
Thanks.

r4897 and r4898 should both fix that. Do them?

I tried r4893 (latest) and everything went exactly the same way. Call
stack and output exactly the same:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position
28-34: character maps to <undefined>

This may be fixed in r4893 (I tried to fix a possible unicode problem in
output, and a possible KeyError for an obsolete site). If it doesn't, does
it change the output?
