I've contacted upstream and discussed the problem with him. There
doesn't seem to be much that can be done about this bug. BBDB tries
to pick a sensible coding system that will work for most cases and for
Emacs 21 and prior, that happens to be iso-2022-7bit. (emacs-mule
would be better, but iso-2022-7bit is for people who use both Emacs
and XEmacs.) Changing the coding system may result in problems if a
new address or name is added to BBDB that the current coding system
cannot handle (e.g. utf-8 in Emacs 21 cannot encode certain Chinese
characters [1])
Thus upstream's suggestion is to not touch the "-*- coding: ... -*-"
line, but to set bbdb-file-coding-system, if you're sure that you
really do want that coding system.
