I've fixed this with a new local function in vc-cvs.el,
vc-cvs-get-entries, which uses the right coding system.  Other backends
(may) have different coding systems in their control files, so making
the change in vc-insert-file, as you wondered, would not be a possible
solution.

Thanks for pointing this out.
