Here's the attachment:
wget -qO- 
'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=871094;filename=ohw.debdiff;msg=17'|iconv
 -f iso8859-1 >ohw.debdiff

Reproducible with 1.14.4-2 (unstable).

Note that the file is not mislabelled, but properly converted to an unwanted
locale, forming a valid iso8859-1 text.  So this behaviour might even be
intentionally added in times when Unicode was a new thing that almost no one
used, and 8859-1 was the customary encoding.  But today, any encodings other
than UTF-8 are dead -- and in any case, I'd expect the file to get through
unaltered.
