When I run M-x prefer-coding-system utf-8, I get:
Can't prefer coding system utf-8.
(Same response with any other coding system)
Should it work in the latest beta?

OK, things are working right to that extent.
And I _knew_ there was an interactive interface, I just forgot what it
was! M-x prefer-coding-system should do what you need, sorry for
taking so long to come to my senses.
If it does work, then (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) in your init file
should make life good.
Here's the docstring:
Add CODING-SYSTEM at the front of the priority list for automatic
detection.
This also sets the coding system of newly created buffers (the default
value of `buffer-file-coding-system') and the default coding system for
output to a subprocess (the CDR of `default-process-coding-system').
If CODING-SYSTEM specifies a certain type of EOL conversion, the coding
systems set by this function will use that type of EOL conversion.
This does not change [various subtle things that shouldn't be
changed, if you run into trouble with *file names* or *subprocesses*
look at the full docstring or ask on xemacs-beta].
