I have changed this for asynchronous processes for beta34 or around, and no one have seen any misbehavior or something, except for eterm "ladder" problem (which of course should be fixed in eterm - it *wants* untarnaslated CR-LF, so must explicitly claim that). Basically, a good lisp code should not rely on coding-system-for-* being 'binary; for example, code which runs zcat in about.el correctly binds these variables to 'binary.
