In 1.0PR, it does not escape the strings inputed into unicode so that the
location bar.
However, it does in 1.0RC1.
It makes many websites(e.g. CJK sites) which does not accept non-unicode strings
do not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add this URL(http://google.com.hk/search?q=%s&ie=Big5&oe=UTF-8) as keyword
search which only accept Big5 encoding.
2. change the system locale to Big5 encoding.
3. use this keyword search with string "中文" via location bar.

Actual Results:  
It lists results of "銝剜   ".(due to "中文" has been escaped as unicode before
forward the URL)

Expected Results:  
It should list results of "中文".
