What is the actual bug that this causes? I didn't see any mention of incorrect characters or fonts being displayed, or characters not being displayed at all as a result of this change in behavior. AFAIK the only change in behavior that this change causes is that Emacs now displays latin-9 and mule-unicode-* characters out of the box on Windows, whereas in 21.1 it was necessary to change w32-charset-info-alist yourself (which also had the side effect of changing the charset returned by w32-select-font for "Western" fonts).
