Your original bug report is very difficult to read, so let me see if I
can simplify the recipe.  With the file utf8.txt saved to $HOME, I do

$ echo ";;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-" > utf8_txt 
$ cat utf8.txt >> utf8_txt 
$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 emacs

C-x C-f utf8_txt RET     => utf8_txt opened with "u" on modeline.
C-x C-f utf8.txt         => utf8.txt opened with "u" on modeline.

So everything seems to work for me, at least on GNU/Linux.  If you
follow this exact procedure, does it fail for you?
