Loading files should not have side-effects, so that is expected. You 
need to call the appropriate functions. In this case, 
utf-translate-cjk-load-tables is the user level function that loads and 
sets up these tables.

I don't understand enough about the auto-loading of the tables to know 
why it works when utf-8 files containing CJK characters are loaded, but 
not for utf-8 keyboard input. But at least the above might give you a 
better work around for your .emacs.
