Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Oren already fixed several similar problems and he is aware of difference between a crash and an exception.

The problem is Windows specific. The current code uses Unicode C API with the result of calling the replace method. This can cause a segfault (or may be an assertion failure in debug build).

The proposed solution LGTM. It undermines duck-typing, but I think this doesn't break any existing code. The duck-typing was not intentional and is Windows-only.
