In contrib.auth.hashers (see patch), this might produce a slightly backwards-incompatible behavior, but should affect very few users (only those having written a custom password hasher and if this hasher does not support Unicode strings). I'm setting this as RFC, as I'm rather confident about it (all tests pass) and I'm about to push it. But I'd like to offer the time for a quick review or a stop if any strong argument would appear against it.
