I asked on a french Windows developer channel. The answer is that the 
Windows terminal uses "ANSI" charset even if it's possible to use 
unicode. So it's a bug in Microsoft msvcrt library (directly in the 
terminal implementation), not in Python.

Anyway I think that my patch (msvcrt_wchar.patch) makes the situation 
better ;-)
