IIRC, Babyl files saved by Emacs are read by a different branch of code 
in rmail-convert-to-babyl.  They don't need to be decoded by 
decode-coding-region because they take the encoding from the 
X-Coding-System: header inserted by the initial conversion.

But I agree that changing movemail to save the mailbox in mbox format 
will solve the problem in a nicer manner.
