I agree with you.
I've just read pop3.el included in Emacs 21 pretest version.
The default value of pop3-movemail-file-coding-system is
nil, and pop3-movemail is the only function that uses this
variable. It seems that what pop3-movemail does is to write
out data received from pop server into a file. And the data
is received by `binary' coding system. Then, we should use
`binary' also for writing to a file.
