Are you sure your Emacs behaves like that even when invoked with the
"-q --no-init-file" switches?

If indeed your local customizations are not responsible for this, it's
some strange bug in the binary you are using.  While I cannot test
that precise binary, I have 2 versions of the Windows port of Emacs
21.x on my machines, and they both behave as advertised: "C-x RET" is
a prefix of the commands related to encoding and decoding text.
