I have tons of stuff in my setup. Let me know what I might search
for that might affect encoding/decoding.

Please read again what I said about the crash. I think it
at least explains why I saw octal escapes when I visited
the last-saved file - it was saved with raw text. Only the
auto-save file was saved with utf-8. When I visited the file
in a new session, it showed the octal escapes because it was
saved as raw text.
Why that happened I'm not sure. Perhaps when I did `C-x C-w'
the *Help* buffer was first saved as raw text (?), then
autosaved as utf-8, then the crash interrupted finally
resaving the file itself as utf-8 (?).
You will need to give me an idea what to look for, if I am to
try hunting for something in my init file and all that it loads.
One thing I do is this, to get Unix-style line endings:
(setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-unix)
And I do this:
(setq process-coding-system-alist
(cons '("bash" . (raw-text-dos . raw-text-unix))
process-coding-system-alist))
But I don't imagine that either of those is related to this.
