I have been using XEmacs 21.1 patch 14 (Mule) to check edit and check
in the file. I don't know why it would change the coding system, but
maybe it does. I don't know much about coding systems...
Please don't do this with XEmacs any more. Please use Emacs.
(Besides, the only way you can test your changes in Emacs is to use
Emacs.)

Carsten, this might help (untested):
(if (featurep 'mule)
(progn
(define-coding-system-alias 'iso-2022-7bit-unix 'iso-2022-7bit)
(add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("ChangeLog" . iso-2022-7bit-unix))))

Why? Providing that the above prevents any future file corruption in
the ChangeLogs, it shouldn't matter should it?

True, but it's not often that you need to test changes to a ChangeLog
file. :-)

The last line shouldn't be necessary: the Emacs ChangeLog's specify the
encoding explicitly (in the file's local vars).

And unfortunately, the second last line isn't any good for Carsten
either: 'define-coding-system-alias' doesn't exist in XEmacs 21.1.x
For some reason Carsten's XEmacs is using a 8 bit coding system when
it should be using a 7 bit one. I'm not sure why, all of my XEmacsen
do the right thing.

Why?
We don't want to have to deal with the issue of how XEmacs saves this
file, when it is possible simply to avoid it. Aside from that, it
would be good for Carsten to do some of his work in Emacs, on general
principles.

I wasn't suggesting that you do deal with the issue. I don't think the
problem has anything to do with the differences between Emacs and
XEmacs, but rather, a problem specific to Carsten's set up.
What I was saying is that if Carsten can solve the problem he should
be able to use whatever editor he wants for editing the ChangeLogs (or
any other file).

I totally agree.
