Are you by any chance using an HFS (Mac OS Standard) volume rather than HFS+
(Mac OS Extended)? A quick test with Disk Copy images shows that the
behavior you're seeing happens (for me, at least) on HFS disks, but not
HFS+. For a single encoding, you can "get info" on the disk and change the
disk's encoding.
