Does the patch below give good results?

You will need to rebuild Emacs or manually load mule-cmds.elc, after
patching and compiling it.  Then set
select-safe-coding-system-respect-auto-coding to a non-nil value, and
see if the annoying question goes away while the files are saved
correctly without screwing up the cp852 characters.
