Just so I understand: pydap is changing behaviour and we are enforcing that new behaviour always?

Yes, sort of... It was more like pydap was always enforcing a change from "S" --> "U", which was not jiving with xarray. Beginning with the new version it will no longer enforce the change to unicode. Once the minimal pydap version moves up from 3.5.0 --> 3.5.6 this line won't be necessary.
