Agreed.
It's just a lot of work for very little benefit: people have lived with this
problem for a while now and haven't found the workarounds to be serious
(basically: don't use utf-8 for those files and don't use
unify-8859-on-decoding if you manipulate such files).  Such a "feature"
would only be an ugly workaround anyway.
As for a real fix: fixing it is what emacs-unicode is all about.
