Error running expressions containing strings with invalid UTF-8 #32

This works in python

>>> eval("len(\"\277\")")
1

but from q I get this

q).p.eval("len(\"\277\")")
  File "<string>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 0: invalid start byte
'p.c:71 runs pyerr

Looks like I should have been running .p.eval("len(\"\277\")")
