Follow-up Comment #1:

There shouldn't be any conversion happening if the input encoding is UTF-8.
I don't see any errors if I set the mfile_encoding to "UTF-8" on Windows.
But I do see the error on Linux. This is because the default mfile_encoding is
"system" and the system happens to return upper case "UTF-8" for that. This is
compared to lower case "utf-8".
Setting the mfile_encoding to "UTF-8" avoids the issue also on Linux.

I pushed the following change to convert the system encoding to lower case
before comparing it:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/5fc630696dc7

Marking as ready for test.
