I don't think using cjk-coding is correct here, you should use
locale-coding-system instead.  This message is going to be output to
the user's terminal, so the encoding it should use is that of the
terminal, which is most likely locale-coding-system.

You could also use 'us-ascii', since this particular message is
pure-ASCII.

Encoding a message in cjk-coding will fail if the user's terminal
cannot display some characters encoded with it.
