Now I understand better.
(1) I was unable to do because I customizations that try to prevent
window splitting -- so when this error happens, the minibuffer
and the warning message are the only two buffers visible.
(2) I was unable to see because I have customized nearly all faces,
so perhaps the underlining got lost.
We could improve Emacs by either fixing the message -- eg. "You can
abort the choice of a coding system using \\[keyboard-quit\\], and
use mouse-2 or RET on the problematic character listed above to go to
the correct position.
What do you think?
