I spent quite a while debugging this. The problem arises in
mew-find-cs-region (call stack: mew-charset-sanity-check ←
mew-encode-mime-body ← mew-encode-singlepart ← mew-smtp-encode-message
← mew-draft-smtp-process-message ← mew-draft-process-message).

What happens is that mew-find-cs-region runs

(apply 'set-charset-priority charset-list)

where charset-list is a humongous list (see below my signature).

Manually running

(apply 'set-charset-priority
       '(unicode-bmp unicode iso-8859-1 ascii latin-iso8859-1))

(an arbitrary list snipped from the front of the really big list)
cures the problem. Until next time I send mail, of course.

PS. Damaging value of charset-list:
