bug#8780: 24.0.50; Coding system and eol style auto-detection after opening remote files

I've just reproduced it at home, also with yesterday's build of Emacs
trunk on w32.  FWIW, here I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've just
done this:
 1. C-x C-f /ftp@ftp.gui.uva.es:/sites/ctan.org/README.uploads
 2. C-x C-f some-local-iso-latin-1-dos-file

I'm attaching a screenshot of the Emacs frame after #2, which shows
the two anomalies mentioned earlier.

At work I'm using a Windows XP box, where I also have the same problem.

Well, my knowledge of Tramp is quite limited.  I guess I'm using "ftp"
method, because it is the value of the variable
`tramp-default-method'.  Anyway, I've not tweaked anything in Emacs
nor Windows, FWIW.

If you need more data, just ask for it.

Thanks.
