bug#1973: Bug in simple.el (Emacs version 22.2.1)

Quoth Kevin Rodgers <kevin.d.rodgers@gmail.com>:
> What does `C-h C RET' in the *Async Shell Command Output* show?  

Coding system for saving this buffer:
  Not set locally, use the default.
Default coding system (for new files):
  u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)

Coding system for keyboard input:
  u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)

Coding system for terminal output:
  u -- utf-8 (alias of mule-utf-8)

Defaults for subprocess I/O:
  decoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)

  encoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)


Priority order for recognizing coding systems when reading files:
  1. mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
  2. iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)
  3. mule-utf-16be-with-signature (alias: utf-16be-with-signature 
mule-utf-16-be utf-16-be)
  4. mule-utf-16le-with-signature (alias: utf-16le-with-signature 
mule-utf-16-le utf-16-le)
  5. iso-2022-jp (alias: junet)
  6. iso-2022-7bit 
  7. iso-2022-7bit-lock (alias: iso-2022-int-1)
  8. iso-2022-8bit-ss2 
  9. emacs-mule 
  10. raw-text 
  11. japanese-shift-jis (alias: shift_jis sjis cp932)
  12. chinese-big5 (alias: big5 cn-big5 cp950)
  13. no-conversion 

  Other coding systems cannot be distinguished automatically
  from these, and therefore cannot be recognized automatically
  with the present coding system priorities.

  The following are decoded correctly but recognized as iso-2022-7bit-lock:
    iso-2022-7bit-ss2 iso-2022-7bit-lock-ss2 iso-2022-cn iso-2022-cn-ext 
iso-2022-jp-2 iso-2022-kr

Particular coding systems specified for certain file names:

                                        (raw-text . raw-text-unix)
                "\\.tar\\'"             (no-conversion . no-conversion)
                "\\.po[tx]?\\'\\|\\.po\\."

                                        latexenc-find-file-coding-system
                ""                      (undecided)
  Process I/O   nothing specified
  Network I/O   nothing specified


My ~/.profile contains the line 'export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8' which may
explain some of the differences, but it still ain't right.
