The bug is that hexlify-buffer assumes that manually encoding the
command line stops call-process from encoding it again, which does not
work: coding-system-for-write takes absolute precedence.  IMHO
call-process should not use coding-system-for-write for encoding the
command line, if at all there should be a separate override.
