Probably not, hmm.

It does not cause the problem, exactly, but it will expose
problems in other code if there are. What it does is if the
response body is a character string, it will encode it to
yield a byte string.

But I just realised that you if are getting the warning from
IO::Handle, then the Unicode plugin probably has nothing to do
with it.

Hmm. Maybe enable stack traces (Carp::Always or C:P:StackTrace or
whatever) and then trigger the warning after making all warnings
fatal to force a crash? That way you would find out where in the
Catalyst guts the problem occurs, so you can get an idea of what
a fix might look like.
