Message:
I think I found a bug (segmentation fault) in Expect regarding unicode.  Can you confirm this?

    $ cat unicode.exp
    spawn bash
    send "aaébb"
    expect -ex "aaébb" {send_user "PASS"}
    $ expect -f unicode.exp
    spawn bash
    aaébbSegmentation fault

Yes, it works with bash 4.1.7 and en_US.UTF-8 for me, and appears to skip the test with that bash version and LC_ALL=C. I'd expect it to explicitly tell me that some tests were unsupported/skipped though; with en_US.UTF-8 I get:

# of expected passes            47
/home/scop/cvs/bash-completion/test, bash-4.1.7(1)-release

...and with LC_ALL=C:

I'm running out of options...  But it's working on bash-4.1 now, right?  Then maybe we can skip the unicode test for bash <= 3?

Patching test/config/bashrc and test/lib/library.exp with your suggested changes make no difference either :(
