Can you post the offending file (as a binary attachment), or at least
its small fragment with the characters shown as question marks?
Perhaps the file itself mixes Latin-1 and non-Latin-1 characters, or
has some other weird bytes in it.

Btw, does it help to visit the file with "C-x RET c Latin-1 RET C-x C-f"
instead of the usual "C-x C-f"?
