Yes, but the right test is (SIZEOF_WCHAR_T > 2). I wrote a new test:
#if (Py_UNICODE_SIZE == 2) && (SIZEOF_WCHAR_T > 2)
#define USE_WCHAR_SURROGATE
const wchar_t *orig_w;
#endif

I try, but it would be easier if the rule was already respected: they
are many tabs and many lower-case hex literals. I used copy/paste from
existing code of unicodeobject.c...
Patch version 3:
- disable the UTF-16 surrogate for 16 bits wchar_t: so my patch is
only used for 16 bits Py_UNICODE and 32 bits wchar_t... which is the
default case for python 2.6 and 3.0 on Linux
- replace tabulation by spaces (in existing code)
- use upper case literals
