Perhaps it isn't a bug at save time. But then, selecting a lossy
encoding by default when visiting the file is the bug (and really
a regression), particularly if this isn't clearly told to the user.

Actually this is related, since the lossy encoding becomes a real
problem only at save time (and for copy-paste I assume, though the
file doesn't get overwritten by that).
