How do you serialize a newform.errors dictionary?

This is code that was working until sometime circa rev
6500...

Assuming we have a newform object named form with errors in
it:

import django.utils.simplejson as json
json.dumps(form.errors)

gives:
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>:
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__
object at 0x128f110> is not JSON serializable

In the shell, and fails silently in view code.

If we do:

json.dumps(force_unicode(form.errors))

the serialization will work, but returns pythonic
representations of
unicode strings (u'foo'), which the JS frontend has no idea
how to
handle.

All I want to do is serialize the form's errors as a
dictionary... I'm
guessing this should be easy?

EDIT: json.dumps(force_unicode(form.errors)) works but
triggers the
dictionary-to-html conversion.
