[issue19772] str serialization of Message object may mutate the payload and CTE.

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

While the copy solution seems reasonable, unfortunately it looks like the solution isn't that simple.

Your test method didn't start with 'test_', so it didn't get run.  Your fix doesn't fix the problem, since other parts of the code are holding on to a pointer to the original message object.  But even if I change your fix to only make a local copy and use it to get the transformed payload, that fix breaks other tests, since the *headers* aren't changed in the output, even if the payload is.  This is because of the odd way the generator accumulates its output, and I unfortunately don't have time to remember how it all works in order to craft a fix before the 3.4 alpha :(.
