Could you give an example that fails to do what is expected? I tried
what you referenced above, using "C-x RET f raw-text RET" and C-q insert
bytes. Saving the file worked just fine, resulting in the expected file
length. "M-x find-file-literally" on the resulting file also seemed to
work just fine. Note, however, that I am running Emacs under GNU/Linux.
