Whatever. What I meant is that the buffer is nominally utf-8, but
contains raw bytes.

It seems also a bug that the behavior is different between

   emacs -Q --eval "(set-language-environment \"UTF-8\")"

and

  set LANG=utf8.UTF-8
  emacs -Q

when, in both cases, `current-language-environment' is "UTF-8".
