I can reproduce this on recent Emacs, with a small change to the
recipe since enable-multibyte-characters can no longer be set
directly:

(set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Test Buffer*"))
(set-buffer-multibyte nil) ; instead of setting `enable-multibyte-characters'

(insert "\xC2\x4C\xEF\x77\xC6\x69\x8C\x0A")

(goto-char (point-min))

(message "looking-at: %s" (looking-at
"\\`\xC2\x4C\xEF\x77\xC6\x69\x8C\x0A"))

(message "re-search-forward: %s"
         (re-search-forward "\\`\xC2\x4C\xEF\x77\xC6\x69\x8C\x0A" 100 t))
