New description:

 Sugar is unable to handle Access Points that have non-UTF-8 SSIDs. The
 name doesn't get displayed in the Neighborhood; the user is unable to
 connect to the Access Point by clicking on the AP icon.

 This happens with any version of Sugar so far. cgaray originally tested
 Sugar 0.82 / OLPC OS build 801, Sugar 0.84 / OLPC OS build 170py, Sugar
 0.84 / OLPC OS build 179py.

 Recent versions of Sugar may even trigger a segfault in
 {{{glib.markup_escape_text()}}} (see e.g.
 [https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11698 OLPC#11698]).
