Python3 + makemessages = "invalid multibyte sequence"

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

With Django 1.9.5 and Python 3, I get warnings like

./jb_common/templates/404.html.py:35: invalid multibyte sequence

when I run "manage.py makemessages". The problem occurs only in
HTML files with (validly) UTF-8-encoded characters in them. In the
.po file, these characters are skipped. How can I fix this?

The problem does not occur with Python 2.

Tschö,
Torsten.

This seems to be the issue:
