bug#8122: 23.2.94; (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) changes indentation behavior for emacsclient

[Steve Revilak]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list
and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

In the 23.2.94 emacs pretest, the use of (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
changes text-mode indentation behavior with emacsclient/emacs --daemon.

Steps to reproduce

(1) Start emacs in daemon mode, as follows:
    env TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp emacs  -Q --eval "(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)" 
--daemon

(2) Use emacsclient to connect to the server started in step (1),
    editing a new text file.
    rm -f a.txt
    env TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp emacsclient a.txt

(3) In the buffer for a.txt, type the lines that appear below.  Do not
    press return after typing "ccc"

aaa
bbb

  ccc

(4) With point at the end of line "ccc", press RETURN.  If "ccc"
    appeared in line 5 of the buffer, then the cursor will appear at
    line 6, column 2.  

Expected behavior: after pressing RETURN, the cursor should have
appeared line line 6, column 0.

(5) With the cursor at line 6, column 2.  Press ESC-\ (aka
    "delete-horizonal-space").   Now, the cursor appears in line 6,
    column 0

(6) With the cursor in line 6, column 0, press RETURN.  The cursor now
    appears in line 7, column 2.

Expected behavior: after pressing RETURN, the cursor should have
appeared in line 7, column 0.

Regression Notes:

* The behavior I've described appears to be specific to emacsclient.
  For example, 
      emacs  -Q --eval "(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)"
  does not exhibit the behavior I've described.

* The last emacs pretest that I used on this system was 23.2.91.
  23.2.91 did not exhibit this behavior.
  Later today, I will try building 23.2.92 and 23.2.93, to get see if
  the behavior appeared in those versions.

* I've observed this behavior on Mac OS X
