Not really. You said:
For me, the file vline.el downloaded from the above address loads
^^^^^
successfully even without setting LANG to "C".
But you did add this, which confuses things (loading with visiting):
Just a simple "C-x C-f" works and doesn't throw any errors.
I didn't notice that last part.

Yes, I too was not clear enough. I meant load, not visit.

Yes and no. I did `C-x RET c utf-8 RET C-x C-f vline.el RET'. If I then do `M-x
load-file RET', then I get the same error. However, if instead of `M-x load-file
RET' I use `M-x eval-buffer RET', then I don't get the error.

I can do that, if you tell me exactly what to tell him needs to be done.
However, is it normal that Emacs 23 raises an error if the encoding is wrong?
Emacs 22 does not raise any error here.
