[issue7649] "u'%c' % char" broken for chars in range '\x80'-'\xFF'

There's no perfect answer. And since we've gotten this far without anyone caring, and 2.7 is basically the end of life for this issue, perhaps doing nothing is the best course. Any change we make will affect code that runs in both 2.6 and 2.7, doing nothing preserves compatibility on the 2.x side.
