Can't save in iso-8859-13

Hello!

A test file, starting with that header:

        ;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: iso-8859-13; -*-

and consisting of lines like these:

        ;   oct   dec   hex
        ;==========================
          = 240 = 160 = A0 = U+00A0 : NO-BREAK SPACE
        ¡ = 241 = 161 = A1 = U+201D : RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
        ¢ = 242 = 162 = A2 = U+00A2 : CENT SIGN

seemed to have some mistakes. A Mac OS X application (Smultron) capable of loading a file in one of some dozen encodings showed that too. So I went to correct my mistakes. I tried to remove the first column with kill-rectangle and wanted to insert another rectangle that a Perl script produces:

while ( $Index < 256 ) {
        printf("%c = %3o = %3d = %2X = \n", $Index, $Index, $Index, $Index);
        $Index++;
}

The shell buffer was in UTF-8 mode. Copying that rectangle into a register and yank that register into the file lead to a situation where I was not allowed to save the file in ISO Latin-7/ISO 8859-13 encoding. GNU Emacs only allowed mule-utf8, no matter which C-x RET way I tried to set the correct encoding and ask GNU Emacs to shit on all mule-utf8. It behaved like an MS app.

In shell I only saw octal representation. The same was true in *scratch* when inserted and in the ISO Latin-7/ISO 8859-13 file buffer too.

With GNU Emacs 21.3.50 it works fine ... well, seeing probably an ISO Latin-1 display after insertion into the buffer.
