The question is whether the _characters_ appearing in the buffer are
what you would have expected.
There are few problems before answering this ...
I need a mathematical environment with ö or ä -- an ü would do it too,
I presume. Or an ß instead of β? Well, I have no idea whether this
nonsense is supported by TeX.
Then I need to make this environment produce an output. Would take some
time to find a way ... At least it could keep me from reporting bugs.
I am no Emacs developer so I can be completely wrong in assuming that
the coding-system, as indicated in the mode-line, can be connected to
the way GNU Emacs displays a file's contents in that buffer. The
problem is in the nature of mankind: if we don't find enough and good
reason, we'll go on assuming that coding-system and the way we see
glyphs characterized in a buffer belong together. I never found a
difference in that ...
But, OK, I don't want to stick to the coding-system, I am very flexible
and can re-write my bug report that the output buffer does not show ä
or ö. It codes these two cryptically as \<some probably octal
sequence>. This scheme makes the user know more about codings than is
necessary.
Can you accept this as a description of a bug in AUCTeX?
