That's an XEmacs bug, I've confirmed it.  Evaluating the expression

(set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 utf-8)

then doing prefer-coding-system should make it work.  I don't know
exactly what's gone wrong here.  Ben?  (The full thread is at

Any coding system except 'binary or 'iso-8859-1 (by design, since
preferring them would completely prevent autodetection), or utf-8
(because of the bug) should work.  'iso-2022-jp and 'iso-8859-15 work
for me.
