I'm fetching a website, feeding it to lxml and then accessing parts of
the tree via xpath. The resulting nodes will be put into a Qt4 model and
then converted to a QString. After the data is in lxml I only use
unicode strings for it (i.e. lxml returns elements with unicode strings
as text/attribute values)..

I don't think you'll find something, but here it is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/andreas/projects/pyfilmdbsimpleui/pyfilmdbsimpleui/widgets/addversionsdialog.py", line 38, in on_availableVersions_currentItemChanged
    self.versionData[url] = self.plugin.getVersionInfo(url,releaseCountry)
  File "/home/andreas/projects/pyfilmdbsimpleui/pyfilmdbsimpleui/plugins/ofdb_de.py", line 138, in getVersionInfo
    self.parseSubtitles(elem, html)
  File "/home/andreas/projects/pyfilmdbsimpleui/pyfilmdbsimpleui/plugins/ofdb_de.py", line 196, in parseSubtitles
    lang = txt[0:endindex].strip().decode('utf-8')
  File "/home/andreas/python2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

The website parsed is:
http://www.ofdb.de/view.php?page=fassung&fid=6&vid=135646

the problem are the subtitles, which contain non-ascii characters. I can
parse other web pages from that site containing german umlauts in the
subtitle list. I'm now going to the beach ;-), but I'll look into that later
tonight, eventually via python debugger.
