If it were only for "Bad hostname", I would have guessed the same.
What made me guess differently was the 500 in front of it. This
suggested to me that the "Bad hostname" came from an actual server
on the other end, which would strongly suggest that punycode was
involved. But it's probably easier to do an actual check on the
server than to do more guessing.

In that case, the Host: field of the request is of course
Host: xn--rksmrgs-5wao1o.josefsson.org
which would also explain why that example works.

Yes, I was aware of that.
