Sure, because the problem that caused Emacs to decode the file as
raw-text is still in the file.

Expected, since there are problematic characters in the file. Try
this:
M-: (unencodable-char-position (point-min) (point-max) 'utf-8) RET
It should show you the first position in the buffer where you have a
character that cannot be encoded by UTF-8. If all the characters can
be encoded by UTF-8, this will evaluate to nil.

And it shouldn't.
