And it certainly was the right thing to do: Your message contained
characters from both ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2.  In such cases, Gnus
uses UTF-8 if it's available.  (If UTF-8 can't be used, Gnus falls
back to the old way: one MIME part for each charset.)

Perhaps I should add something to the manual which explains that?
Which section would be appropriate?

A few days ago, I've made a trivial change to support sending in UTF-8
if MULE-UCS is installed.
