Works fine for me:

py> d = minidom.Document()
py> r = d.createElement("root")
py> r.appendChild(d.createTextNode(u"\xf6"))
<DOM Text node "\xf6">
py> d.appendChild(r)
<DOM Element: root at -0x482ab614>
py> d.toxml()
u'<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n<root>\xf6</root>'
py> print d.toxml()
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>ö</root>
