Oops, forgot about non-Mule.  Non-Mule works a bit differently,
because it doesn't really detect coding systems (they're all
"raw-text"), only end-of-line conventions.  EOL *could* be treated as
a true coding system, but for historical reasons it isn't.

It shouldn't matter (but 'iso-8859-1, 'raw-text, 'auto, and 'binary
are probably the only allowable values there).  You could try setting
to 'iso-8859-1-unix, which might get you to "ISO8" in the modeline.
