  Have you messed with the default python installation (for example, symlinking python3.2 to /usr/bin/python?) - apt should be using the system default python2.7 on 12.04. Can you add the output of ls -l $(which python) to your post?

The software-properties-common is buggy, so if have a time, please report this as a bug in software-properties-common.

A better workaround was pointed out in the issue tracker that uses specific unicode locale when adding the repository

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
