Maybe.

latexenc-find-file-coding-system only returns the base coding system
(that is without line ending information). At least on my system emacs
still detects the correct line ending information in addition to the
coding system detected by latexenc-find-file-coding-system.

Christian actually found a bug in a Makefile when compiling under
MingW. And his fix made the problem disappear.

Christian, I hope you don't mind me quoting your e-mail here:
