I agree with Andreas here: we should not output unencoded internal
representation of characters.  If nothing else, it will be a
maintenance burden if and when we decide to change something in the
internal representation, or if dbus will ever accept binary data.

I don't really understand why you insist on doing this over
objections, even though functionally both approaches are currently
equivalent.
