Yes, it seems to be related to the French translation. I can reproduce it with it and I have no error with LC_ALL=C.

Investigating…

Ok, found it (found some free time to debug).

So, the answer is indeed in this line:
print _("%s %s is building on Launchpad. Wait for half an hour and have look at %s.") % (project_name, version, ppa_url)

ppa_url was in unicode (launchpad gives back this elements in unicode). print() can transtype unicode in str, but not gettext!

So, when you are using a translation which is localized, gettext try to encode ppa_url, which fails :)
The patch is simply:
print _("%s %s is building on Launchpad. Wait for half an hour and have look at %s.") % (project_name, version, ppa_url.encode('UTF-8'))

I am eager of having python3 pushed by default :)
Fixed in trunk, and a new release this fix will be present before karmic one.
