I think that's what you should expect. Once you kill the buffer, emacs forgets 
all about the file that it had held.

Apparently emacs can't figure out that the file is UTF-8. You'll need to 
provide a hint. `-*- coding: utf-8 -*-' in the first line is one way. You'll 
find more in the emacs info page, node `Coding Systems'.

I hope this helps.
