Description

At https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/troubleshooting/yaml_idiosyncrasies.html#yaml-support-only-plain-ascii:

Alternatively you can toggle the yaml_utf8 setting in your master configuration file. This is still an experimental setting but it should manage the right encoding conversion in salt after yaml states compilations.

Fixed upstream and worked in 2016 and 2017 Salt version.

Regression 2018.3, as source code reads files in ASCII *THEN* tries to convert them to UTF-8 (but it has already failed with non ascii characters).

Works like a charm now.
