Thanks for tracking down my error; the file name on my disk is also
ISO-8859-1 encoded.  I might have slipped in when I have started Emacs
within an ISO-8859-1 environment by accident.

If it is possible to detect some such encoding mismatch, Emacs should
raise an exception telling the user the how to solve the problem:

    Convert file name

    Use raw text

    Use UTF-8

Sorry, I cannot answer the other questions.  Thanks again for your
help.
