Comment:

 Being that this works from launching emacs-mac from the command line, that
 would seem to imply that there an environment variable missing / not being
 set the same way as in you shell (this is a common problem on the mac with
 .app programs). I was a little dubious I could recreate the problem but I
 did! And it's not that bad, following the advice here:

 http://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-emacs/2011-January/002537.html

 you can get the behavior you want by setting (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
 in your .emacs file. The better question is why this doesn't happen for
 emacs-app nor Aquamacs to which I don't know. If anyone knows the answer
 to that, please let me know by reopening the ticket. For now, I'll close
 this as invalid since it seems to be a config setting(?).
