Hi,

When I try to install packages from the Package Menu or the command of
package-install since about two weeks ago, it reports the error:
```
error in process sentinel: async-when-done: Invalid read syntax: "#<"
error in process sentinel: Invalid read syntax: "#<"
```
And it seems not preventing the installation process but stops the emacs
to compile the el files to elc.

FYI. I failed to find out what makes it. It looks like the local variable in
the autoloads file generated by the package process. It add
`;; coding: utf-8-emacs-unix`, however, in windows, the file is probablly
in a coding of utf-8-emacs-dos. When I try to open the autoload file,
Emacs can't regonize the major mode which assumes to be `emacs-lisp-mode`.
Unless I change the `;; coding: utf-8-emacs-unix` to
`;; coding: utf-8-emacs`, it can be open in the `emacs-lisp-mode`.



Best Regards,
Shuguang Sun
