If it is, then the standard behavior is wrong. For starters, Emacs should not
default to chinese-iso-8bit in a unibyte French-language environment merely
because the buffer has a curved quote. That can't be what a typical French user
wants.
The problem can be reproduced without electric-quote mode, as follows:
LC_ALL=fr_FR.iso88591 emacs -Q newfile
C-x 8 [ RET
C-x C-s
More generally, if I type any character that won't be saved, I should be
notified when I type it, not ages later when I save the buffer. This should be
done independently of whether electric-quote mode is in use.
