This was the case that a binary file is read into a unibyte
buffer, and \240..\377 are displayed as is; i.e. those exact
bytes are sent to the terminal.  That's happened because
Emacs setup standard-display-table for Latin-1 even if the
locale is UTF-8.  I'v just installed a fix not to setup
standard-display-table in such a case.

But, it seems that you are proposing not to setup
standard-display-table even if the locale is Latin-1, right?
