Are you referring to the *compiled* templates or the uncompiled templates? If
it's the former than I might need to bump the latest compatible version tuple.
If it's the latter, are you using encoded strings? If I remember correctly
there should be safe-guards in place to try to perform a best effort decoding
of strings (as per usual, a traceback would be helpful here with relevant
data).

Looks simple enough, do you have a test case that I can add to our
regression tests?

I'll have to get back to you on the global encoding thing, the basis of this
change was to resolve a number of outstanding unicode issues with previous
versions of Cheetah, by making all internal strings to Cheetah unicode objects,
instead of a mix of encoded strings and unicode objects, etc.
