The "ö" character is stored in the file as 0xC3 0xB6. As you say, this is
the UTF-8 encoding for this character.

The Python interpreter interprets the 2-byte sequence correctly.  This can
be seen in a number of ways: if I run the script in a terminal, or if I
paste or yank the line into Python shell buffer, or I do
python-shell-send-buffer, in all these cases the sequence is converted into
0xF6, which is the UTF-16 encoding for "ö" that Python uses internally, as
the output from repr() shows..

However, when the bytes are sent with python-shell-send-region, the
interpeter thinks that 0xC3 0xB6 are 2 characters, which is wrong.  In light
of this, I would say that there is a bug in python-shell-send-region.
