[issue21331] Reversing an encoding with unicode-escape returns a different result

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

No.  x.encode('unicode-escape').decode('unicode-escape') should return the same result, and it does.

The bug, I think, is that bytes.decode('unicode-escape') is not objecting to the non-ascii characters.  It appears to be treating them as latin1, and that strikes me as broken.
