Leaving the u off a string returned from __unicode__ results in horribly hard to debug bugs — at Initial Version

Description

I hit a nasty bug where weird unicode errors were being thrown in the admin application, which it turned out was caused because I was returning a bytestring from a unicode method. It would be great if Django could spot this mistake and throw a more humanly readable exception. This might just involve a few assertions in the admin code.
