An update with a more detailed report: 

If I manually select LaTeX encoding and save a .bib file, then the contents of
the file are LaTeX-encoded as required, with, e.g., ë encoded correctly as
{\"e}, but KBibTeX erroneously adds a line @comment{x-kbibtex-encoding=utf-8}
at the top of the .bib file. This means that the next time the .bib file is
loaded in KBibTeX, the encoding menu in KBibTeX is switched to UTF-8.

If I manually select LaTeX from the encoding menu again, then KBibTeX saves the
.bib file with LaTeX encoding again, but again maintains the line
@comment{x-kbibtex-encoding=utf-8} at the top.

So this does seem to be a bug, where KBibTeX keeps erroneously adding
@comment{x-kbibtex-encoding=utf-8} to the top for no clear reason. And it means
that if I forget to manually switch UTF-8 back to LaTeX in the encoding menu
every time I open the .bib file, KBibTeX will save the .bib file as UTF-8,
changing all the characters in the file (e.g., {\"e} gets encoded as ë).
