If an Info file has no "coding:" tag, then the Info reader uses
Emacs's auto-detection machinery.
But maybe in this case we should force some safe coding like `undecided'
(as it seems to use now for pure ASCII Info files without null-bytes)?

IIUC, this is an intentional feature. But we could run it with e.g.
`LANG=C makeinfo' in Makefiles.
