Re: [Peter Dyballa] Re: Coding system of file not recognised correctly

    No, I wouldn't say so. In the extra directory were the non-compiled  
    ELisp files. These files are stable, unchanged, since last year,  
    obviously (I forgot to diff before I deleted them, seeing that the  
    byte counts were the same). So GNU Emacs was and is loading the same  
    contents.

I can't follow these complexities, and I can't see how this say
anything about the bug.

If you delete the spurious files, and rebuild Emacs the right way from
the latest sources, does the bug happen?
