To answer myself: no, rmail-write-region-annotate does nothing if
write-region is invoked with its START argument non-nil (which means
to write only a portion of the current buffer).  So in this case, the
current message will be written to the file using
buffer-file-coding-system, as the user should expect.

Sorry for the noise.
