For some reason I don't quite understand, iso-2022-jp fails the
ascii-compatible-p test. We could make an exception for the iso-202
family in this case. Then the bug would not creep back in.

Yes, but we know in advance which coding-systems will be unable to do
that, so testing this at run time sounds like waste of cycles.
