You are right.  But in my case, it was not enough to test for
"iso-8859-", as the symbol's name was "iso-latin-1", not "iso-8859-1".

I installed the patch below, that does seem to fix the problem with
the OP's .gnus.el, although I don't know how general that problem is,
nor whether Emacs is capable of distinguishing UTF-8 from Latin-N in
general.

I installed a further change for the case where latin-extra-code-table is not a vector. But I don't understand why we have this table, and why the default value allows the 6 C1 control codes PU1, PU2, STS, CCH, MW and SPA to appear in latin text without breaking the auto detection. Are these control characters really that common?
