I am on it! Thanks for the report.

I think the fix missed this case:

import _interpreters
_interpreters.exec(0, "1", {"\uFD7C\u5124\u7B91\u92E9\u1850\u39AA\u0DF2\uD82A\u2D68\uACAD\u92DE\u47C5\uFFD0\uDE0B\uAA9C\u2C17\\u6577\u4C92\uD37C": 0})

Should I open a new issue or can it be fixed here?

Please, open a new one.
