I don't think so. That would amount to a significant overhead on all i/o, since C-x RET c just amounts to binding coding-system-for-{read,write} around the invocation of the command. Perhaps you could special-case it somehow in interactive use, but the issue is most relevant to the other case -- when data are written by a program with an inappropriate coding system. You presumably can't do anything about it for process output anyhow. Is anyone actually taking care of the issues in Ispell/Flyspell?
