When one switches (in scite) the encoding to utf-8, scintilla (?) adds extra (signature) bytes at the beginning of the file; these can not be removed (not visible anyway); it makes witching between encodings problematic since sometimes one wants to check things out; is there a property that controls this automatism? (either at scite or at scintilla level)

I believe you should use UTF-8 Cookie to avoid adding the BOM.
If I understood correctly this option, instead of using the BOM (the signature bytes indicating the endianess of UTF-8), SciTE tries to guess the encoding when loading the file, searching for special kind of comments (cookie).
