Catched in hyperref 2010/03/10 v6.80m (TUG server, tomorrow CTAN).
BTW: \PrerenderUnicode from ucs.sty:
| \uc@newcommand\PrerenderUnicode{%
| \@ifstar{\@prerenderunicode\unichar}{\@prerenderunicode\@gobble}}%
| \uc@newcommand\@prerenderunicode#1#2{%
| \begingroup
| \UnicodeCharFilter\@gobble
| \let#1\@gobble\setbox0\hbox{#2}\endgroup}
should use "\sbox0{#2}" instead of "\setbox0\hbox{#2}" to prevent
leakage of color specials.
Yours sincerely
