You might have luck if you open the property as a stream - the following 
code is from the spambayes source:

def GetPropFromStream(mapi_object, prop_id):
     try:
         stream = mapi_object.OpenProperty(prop_id,
                                           pythoncom.IID_IStream,
                                           0, 0)
         chunks = []
         while 1:
             chunk = stream.Read(4096)
             if not chunk:
                 break
             chunks.append(chunk)
         return "".join(chunks)
     except pythoncom.com_error, d:
         print "Error getting property", mapiutil.GetPropTagName(prop_id), \
               "from stream:", d
         return ""
