> Changing from 'unexpected end of data' to 'invalid continuation byte' for b'\xe0\x00' is fine with me, but this will be a (minor) deviation from 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and pypy (it could still be changed on all these except 3.1 though).

I probably poorly said. Past and current implementations raise
'unexpected end of data' and not 'invalid continuation byte'. Test
expects 'invalid continuation byte'.
