This is happening under Django 1.4.2 and Python 2.7.3 (both latest from the Ubuntu 12.10 repository). The code used to trigger this bug is:

{{{
from django.http import HttpResponse

def view(request):
    response = HttpResponse()
    response.set_cookie(u'unicode_string', 'does not work!')
    return response
