2 reasons: First, without the 3rd arg, set-buffer-file-coding-system
does not force the coding-system of the buffer to `coding', it rather
_merges_ them (see the code for the details). Second, `coding' could
be `undecided', in which case decode-coding-region would set
last-coding-system-used to the actual encoding it detected and used to
decode the file's contents. Thus, using last-coding-system-used is
more accurate (and in fact I believe it's TRT on all platforms, not
only on Windows).

No, the ``strange phenomenon'' was observed in the previous patch,
that didn't have this change.

I'm okay with conditioning on w32 on the release branch.
