I am fairly sure you will find this a bug that has been fixed.  In
win32com\client\__init__.py:

Line 361 (or near) should be changed from:

  elif UnicodeType==type(obj):
to
  elif NeedUnicodeConversions and UnicodeType==type(obj):

(if not at that line, a line very similar).  Or, get the latest .py
file from CVS.

This change removed one last str() conversion win32com did
automatically for you (and still does in 1.5 builds)

Mark.
