I found after analysis of the source, modify trac/ticket/model.py: (155)

            if field and field[0].get('type') != 'textarea':
                value = value.strip()

to

            if field and field[0].get('type') != 'textarea':
                try:
                    value = value.strip()
                 except:
                    pass

is OK!

No, PluginIssue (​th:XmlRpcPlugin).

And, cannot update time and changetime attributes of ticket.

del b['time']
del b['changetime']

Also getting this exact issue. I noticed the ticket is closed, but will try the suggested fix. The "No, Plugin issues" comment leaves a bit more to be desired.

Tried the suggested "hack" to use try/except clause around the strip and it works great. I guess the problem is with Python we don't know what object is coming in. Any other 'proper' suggestions would be welcome.
