json.Unmarshal doesn't properly decodes escaped Unicode characters

[dchest]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

s := `{"tweets" : [{"text" :
"\u0422\u0443\u043b\u0430"}]}`;
json.Unmarshal(s, &timeline);

See attached json-test.go.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: text should be unmarshalled to "Тула".
Instead: empty string
