UnicodeDecodeError on basic tile

[hvelarde]

when editing a basic tile sometimes I get the following error:

Couldn't reproduce this problem.

probably it was caused by a catalog brain with wrong data; I will close it then.

I added some tests to make sure that data is being stored as unicode. The same verifications must be done on several other places of the code, as so as the tests.

but we need to do the same for all tiles! :-)
