WSME + pecan is being used in Tuskar:
https://github.com/tuskar/tuskar (OpenStack management API)

We encountered the same issue discussed here.  A solution we settled
on for now was to use a custom Renderer class that could handle
different response codes.  You set the renderer in the call to
pecan.make_app.  This was meant to be a temporary solution until
there's better support in WSME.

Here's the commit with all the details:
