Python2 did not validate locale correctness when reading input data, so
would happily read UTF-8 data in non-UTF-8 locales. Python3 is strict so
if you try to read UTF-8 data in the C locale, it will raise an error
for any UTF-8 bytes that aren't representable in 7-bit ascii encoding.
e.g.
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 54: ordinal not in range(128)
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.src = fp.read()

return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
More background on this can be seen in

Many distros support a new C.UTF-8 locale that is like the C locale,
but with UTF-8 instead of 7-bit ASCII. That is not entirely portable
though. This patch thus sets the LANG to "C", but overrides LC_CTYPE
to be en_US.UTF-8 locale. This gets us pretty close to C.UTF-8, but
in a way that should be portable to everywhere QEMU builds.
This patch only forces UTF-8 for QAPI scripts, since that is the one
showing the immediate error under Python3 with C locale, but potentially
we ought to force this for all python scripts used in the build process.
