So, the problem is another freaking unicode issue. I'm going to go ahead and say that it probably won't get fixed, as I can't ever get the unicode stuff to behave consistently, so it's basically impossible to tell what the issue is.
The good news is that the error is happening during the attempt to migrate the old .nfo files to the new names and locations. So here's the workaround.
1- go to your XBMC user directory see http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Userdata for location)
2- go to addon_data/script.artistslideshow
3- in that directory create a text file called migrationcheck.nfo
4- in that text file put the string '1.5.4' (without quotes)
That will fool AS into thinking that it has already done the migration and it won't try again. The only effect of that change is that your old cached .nfo files won't be moved. It's not a big deal, as they'll all get recreated as needed. You'll just end up with a bunch of orphan .nfo files in your artist image directories. They're really small and don't take up much space.
