readcsv not working in 0.6.0-pre.alpha.116

[davidbp]

I have a file with the following string

"721","1438","1439","How does Quora quickly mark questions as needing improvement?","Why does Quora mark my questions as needing improvement/clarification before I have time to give it details? Literally within seconds…","1"

Julia Version 0.6.0-pre.alpha.116 (Commit 0e970f0 (2017-03-10 19:40 UTC) cannot read it it says

UnicodeError: invalid character index

Nevertheless Julia version 0.6.0-dev.2069 (commit ff9a949) works perfectly.

Confirmed that this happens even when the input is valid UTF-8. After removing the try... catch block, here's the original error:
