I wrote a simple function for *workaround*. Hope it helps.

(defun sgml-xml-auto-coding-function-utf (size)
  (let* ((selected-coding (sgml-xml-auto-coding-function size))
         (selected (symbol-name selected-coding))
         (current-coding buffer-file-coding-system)
         (current (symbol-name current-coding))
         )
    (if (and (string-match "^utf-" selected)
             (string-match "^utf-.+\\(-with-signature.*\\)" current))
        (if (string= selected (substring current 0 (length selected)))
            current-coding
          ;; current=utf-cc-xxxx; selected=utf-ss; new -> utf-ss-xxxx
          (let ((sig (match-string 1 current))
                new)
            (string-match "^utf-\\(.+\\)" selected)
            (setq new (match-string 1 selected))
            (setq new (intern (concat "utf-" new sig)))
            (if (coding-system-p new)
                new
              selected-coding
              )))
      selected-coding))
    )
