Uh oh, that's odd. And worse:

  $ git log -1 --format='|%an <%ae>|'
  | <>|

So there is definitely a bug. The unicode thing is a red herring, and if
there was any unicode at some point, git stripped it out when making the
commit. The real regression seems to be in single-character names.

I'll see if I can find the bug.

Both are caused by an off-by-one error in split_ident_line. I just
posted a patch.
