Aha! It turns out that Python throws that exception if open returns
EINVAL, not only if the mode is incorrect, which makes the exception
very misleading. IIRC, OS/X enforces UTF-8 pathnames and returns EINVAL
for invalid pathnames. Since the UTF-8 test tries to create a non-UTF-8
filename, the error is not surprising. It seems to me that the UTF-8
test needs to be disabled on OS/X.
