Should it?  I mean, won't it simply use the default coding system of
your language environment?  That should also be the correct behavior,
unless I'm missing something.

It would be nice if the system at least tried to function so that
random pieces of code (such as abbrev-file loading and saving) didn't
have to be aware of coding systems, at least not explicitly.

How does the corruption occur?
