This is clearly a bug, as can be seen by looking at the code for
StreamReader in Lib/codecs.py.  I've submitted a patch to SourceForge
(#102698) to fix this, and appended it below.

An aside: Wade, did you look at Lib/codecs.py to find the cause?  I
interpret your message as meaning you did, since your suggested cause
is quite correct.  There's no need to be shy about saying that this is
a bug!
