To work around the fact that by default Emacs is only 7-bit-clean.

First of all, I never in my life saw a system which was not
misconfigured (and I saw thousands).

Second, no system will ever support all the possible terminal
configurations.

This looks to make Emacs 8-bit-clean. If this solution were
documented in one particular place which is easy to find, I would be
quite happy.
Unfortunately, as you saw, even Emacs developers were not able to
provide a "quite working" solution on the first (and second) try. I
do not think this indicates an acceptable state of the docs...
So "Most users" won't be "quite happy" with Emacs in 8-bit environments...
Thanks,
Ilya
