[issue8859] split() splits on non whitespace char when ther is no separator given.

What do you mean, "works perfectly well under Linux"?
The error also happens under Linux here, and is expected: you can't call unicode() without an encoding and expect it to decode properly non-ASCII chars (and \xa0 is a non-ASCII char).
