LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding 'iso-8859-1'

I have a Jython application based on 2.7b1 that I have packaged into a
*.jar file for deployment via Java Webstart.  (Every other Beta release
presented a problem to me, and the official release is just sooo big.)  I
used to be able to run my application with a command like this:

    $ java -jar myapp.jar

But this no longer works.  Now, I application immediately dies with an
exception:

Exception in thread "MainThread" Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "__pyclasspath__/myapp/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
  File "__pyclasspath__/myap/style.py", line 9, in <module>
  File "__pyclasspath__/resourceloading.py", line 7, in <module>
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
'iso-8859-1'

I searched teh Interwebs, but I appear to be alone in this unpleasant
condition.

I get the same exception on both Java 8u60 and 7u75.  My OS is Ubuntu 11.04.

Any hints on how to proceed?

Thanks Jythonwizards,
David
