FWIW, Oort Gnus and current CVS Emacs works as expected.  It used to
exhibit the same bug you're describing, but I was fixed earlier this
year -- probably by this change:


2003-01-03  Dave Love  <fx@gnu.org>

        * international/mule-cmds.el (sort-coding-systems):
        Adjust priority of utf-16 and x-ctext.

Didn't it get applied to Emacs 21.3?
