BTW, the origin of the reported occurence of that bug seems to be the use of Mule-UCS. In rmail.el, line 1660, the following code is used to add an X-Coding-System header to mails, using the last coding system used: (insert "X-Coding-System: " (symbol-name last-coding-system-used) "\n"))) When I received the mail, the last coding system I used was one of the coding systems that came with Mule-UCS. After temporaryly disabling Mule-UCS, that coding system wasn't known any more... Using the last coding system is after all a little confusing. Maybe `default-buffer-file-coding-system' would be a better (and more predictable) choice?
